Show HN: FFmpeg Commander – A command generator for common encoding workflows

A developer released FFmpeg Commander V2, a command generator for common FFmpeg encoding workflows, after porting the original Vue2/Bootstrap tool to Vite/React/Tailwind using Claude Opus 5. The port was completed quickly with AI assistance, prompting the developer to consider revitalizing other old projects.

I originally built this around 7 years ago in Vue2 and Bootstrap as a simple static frontend tool to generate common ffmpeg commands.

I recently ported it over to Vite/React/Tailwind via Claude (Opus 5) and thought it did a pretty good job. So figured I'd re-share it again as V2.

Quite impressed how fast AI was able to port this over. It made me think about revitalizing some old projects. :)
