#### Frame sequence & RIFF MJPEG .avi video transcoder and inspector for Linux

A lightweight Linux alternative to HandBrake for frame/MJPEG video transcoding.
Disclaimer: Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by the HandBrake Team.

Video Transcoder Studio transcodes Linux image sequences, live desktop screen
frames, and existing RIFF MJPEG .avi streams into standard playable RIFF MJPEG
(.avi) video containers paired with 16-bit PCM (.wav) audio tracks using a
deterministic CPU software pipeline.

KEY FEATURES:
• Video & Frame Sequence Transcode Queue: Load real Linux image sequences, live X11 screen captures, or RIFF MJPEG .avi files; apply pixel crop, smooth resize (1280x720, 854x480, 640x360), deinterlace scanline blend, spatial denoise, and configurable JPEG quality (40..98).
• Live Crop / Filter Preview & Bitrate Calculator: Side-by-side Before vs Cropped/Filtered MJPEG frame preview with exact compressed frame byte measurement and storage/bitrate calculator.
• Output Container Inspector & Hardware Info: Verify binary RIFF/AVI (avih/strh/strf/movi/idx1) and RIFF/WAVE headers, frame counts, resolutions, and SHA-256 digests, plus read-only Linux DRM (/dev/dri, /sys/class/drm) and CPU SIMD capability inspection.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Video Transcoder Studio

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
