Easily convert video and audio files to whatever format you like.
You may store your conversion queues for later use, export video profiles and use audio profiles, to make things a lot easier!
Such a "profile" is XML data that stores parameters, like the new video's output format, frame rate, width and height, audio codec, bit rate, etc.
Video Converter Plus! uses FFMPEG. FFMPEG is licensed under the GNU General Puclic License. Although their site states that the Lesser GPL is applied, some parts of FFMPEG are licensed under the GPL. Please not though that Video Converter Plus! is not licensed under the GPL. The FFMPEG sources are now directly available from my website (see below).
Please note that Video Converter Plus! is not polygami-safe when the notification or update systems is/are activated. This issue will be addressed in the next release.
Features:
- Easily convert videos and audio files, through a user-friendly interface
- Multiple languages to make your experience throughout the script better
- A powerful converting program, FFMPEG, that allows for most audio/video in- and outputs
- An advanced internet browser, so you can view help documents, statistics and more
- Convert as many videos as you want: Video Converter Plus! writes lines into a batch file. On each line, FFMPEG is called, with its set of parameters, input and output videos.
- Have all converted videos in one folder. All converted videos will be placed a folder in the Script's main folder. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Video Converter Plus!\Converted videos\<your@email.com>.
- View (converted) videos, within Video Converter Plus!, using the browser mentioned above. Video Converter Plus! generates an HTML file, which is coded to display the video you specify. It must be located in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Video Converter Plus!\Converted videos\<your@email.com>.
- No useless files being kept: Video Converter Plus! automatically detects and tries to delete any useless files it finds. If a file is found, it'll be deleted, and Video Converter Plus! will restart right afterwards. You will not notice this.
- Minimised risk for corruption: Video Converter Plus! tries to locate all its required files, specified in a special XML file. The first file specified, but not found will trigger an alert, and Video Converter Plus! will not initialise. You will be asked to reinstall the script.
- Exportable conversion queues: never lose track of the files you want to convert. You can now save a conversion queue. If you need to shut down for whatever reason, export your queue to an XML file, and start converting again. No need to browse and search hours for that one video any more, just click the menu button in the bottom-left corner of the Queue tab and there you go.

Change log:
Version 1.73 beta
- Initial release
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated version 1.92 beta
- Added an update system, to avoid losing track of future updates, or for those who use an older version of Messenger Plus! Live.
- Added the trusty notification system, as seen in Date Calculator, but lots more bug-free ;)
- Video profiles: all parameters required for conversion are now stored in one single file. See C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Video Converter Plus! for an example.
- Added a commands helper: you no longer have to learn all command functions and parameters, or open up the help files. Simply type "/VConverter" in a chat window and it pops up. After selecting a function, all parameters (if any) will be displayed, and when appropriate, the word "Optional" will be in front of the actual parameter. After that, a brief description is inserted.
- Hot keys: <see help documents>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated version 2.40 beta
- Added a language updating system that keeps track of language files.
- Finally, I managed to come up with a reliable system that handles tooltip languages that allows for a true multi-language interface.
- Altered the way the update system works. Now it checks only one value, rather than major, minor and build numbers. Not to worry, older update systems can still receive updates.
- When selecting a notification without a Page attribute, the "View item" button is disabled.
- Notifications now use the local date and time format.
- Notification history and Update centre are now integrated in the settings window.
- Language files can be renamed, the corresponding tooltip files will be renamed accordingly. Right-click the language in the list of the Language tab or hit F2.
- Added a powerful plug-in system and an easy-to-use API. I'm currently working on a reliable way to view documentation.
- Video profiles can now be exported into C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Video Converter Plus!\ConversionProfiles.xml
- Video Converter Plus! can now add its own system-tray icon and display a menu with menu icons when it's clicked. Note: this replaces the scripts' menu entry!
- A directory can be set to which the videos are exported by FFMPEG. Note that this disables the View video and Send video functions for those videos.
- An Advanced tab is added to the settings window. Please note that those settings may have influence on how the script works, or its visual appearance.
- Importing and exporting settings works like properly now.
- Windows that have child windows (i.e. the conversion window) can now be resized or maximised.
- Auto-complete is now used in most edit boxes.
- Most list-view controls display menus when right-clicked.
- Added a search button to the browser window. It currently links to Google as I cannot find a way to allow for multiple search engines (yet).
- The About window has been changed a bit.
- Now you can use hot keys to change language selection. That is, the Up and Down arrows can be used to alter the selection and display the proper information for the selected file, and the Home an End keys can be used as well.
- Major overhaul of the Settings window, now it uses tabs.
- Tons of other changes that I already forgot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated version 2.50.015 beta
- Added to the scripts' database. Previous-beta users: please note that you need to download the update manually.
- Added a mechanism that automatically retrieves the download ID of the script for future updates.
- Addressed a ton of issues behind the scenes
- Updated the video profiles. Note: you can still use your old; they will be converted to the new format.
- Multiple search engines are now allowed. You can use plug-in modules as well. See the help document for more information.
- I have uploaded two plug-in modules. One allows you add a folder to the queue, the other one adds support for M3-styled queue files. You can download them here. To install, go to Plug-in management in the settings window and click the add button. You will be asked to provide a Install.plg file. That file is in the ZIP archive (be sure to unzip though!). The rest will be done automatically ;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated version 2.60.016
- Re-added to the scripts' database. Previous-beta users: please note that you need to download the update manually.
- Video Converter Plus! is no longer distributed with FFMPEG; instead, the executables are downloaded from this website
- Notification & update systems work like they used to, after the transition to Google Sites
- A ton of internal URL changes after the transition...
- The Changes field in the Update centre now works
- Languages can be deleted, except English
- Both the scripts' menu item and the system-tray icon can be displayed at the same time
- Starting the script unfortunately takes significantly longer due to some changes to the notification and update systems; they download one file each, which needs to be deleted at next start-up. A consequence of the transition...
- Please note: due to an error in the update system, users with Messenger Plus! Live 4.60 or earlier need to download the update manually!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 2.70.017:
- Fixed a huge security issue as to plug-in installing: opening an empty install.plg file would erase all your plug-ins.
- Fixed a major bug in the settings window: tab buttons that were clicked once, would stay active forever, even though another tab button was activated.
- Almost everything can be done with the mouse wheel, in addition to normal clicking. This system does not work for the Updates tab in the settings window yet.
- API-based add-ons now have access to the Extra button in the settings window, to display their own menu items there, depending on the currently active tab.
- API-based add-ons can also display their own menu items for the system-tray menu.
- Plug-in modules can now also be written in VBScript as well as JScript.
- A few minor changes to the update system.
- Addressed some issues related to language distribution. I've written a small utility around some code that packs a folder into a ZIP file, now I can distribute language packs properly.
- Small alteration in the notification system: it can now display a longer message. Check the notification of 17 April and click View item for an example. Please note that the translation is not finished yet.
A plug-in module for Video Converter Plus!, making it possible to show what video you're watching, was announced earlier. Click here to download. To install a plug-in module, extract the ZIP or RAR file, go to Plug-in management and click the plus-icon. Enter the path to the Install.plg file, or browse for it and click Install. The rest will be done automatically.
