Beta testers needed
be part of something different
Here at goDromo we have spent a great deal of time in the last decade using all sorts of media processing tools out there. It’s always been fun, but recently we wondered if we could take a fresh look at how things get done. goDromo Media Transcoder is the first result of our efforts to make media processing easier and more powerful for everybody and we would be delighted if you could help us make it better.
gMT in action
What is goDromo Media Transcoder?
goDromo Media Transcoder, or gMT, is an extremely versatile, web based, socially configured, native speeds transcoder. It’s a free service, that allows you to create your own video/audio processing tools and share it with others, all from the web, without having to download anything, with just a few clicks of the mouse.

How does it work?
A profile is created using the gMT editor. With it you can configure over 300 settings and formats that will determine the behavior of gMT when it’s run. Once a profile has been created, you can run it visiting it’s public url with your browser.
Then some magic happens.
gMT determines what browser and what operating system you are using, and it will load in your browser a version of ffmpeg/vgtmpeg that has been compiled specifically for your system. Using the settings from the original profile you created ffmpeg/vgtmpeg is run. This is a native process in your computer so it runs as fast as ffmpeg would if you would run it as a standalone application. Better yet, when gMT is run, you don’t have to deal with any of this, the web GUI manages everything for you.
What can I do with this?
We’ve been playing with it ourselves and there seems to be plenty of flexibility. From x264 encoders, mpeg encoders, audio extractors to mp4 and mkv remuxers. The current versions of gMT are geared towards file conversion and optimization, but if the concept caches on we’d like to add a lot more features. Look a few examples:
An iPad converter, http://godromo.com/gmt/profile?profile_id=ca050c28ee5eab69
An audio extractor from any media file, http://godromo.com/gmt/profile?profile_id=a38fa6cf3f5ee9e8
An any format to mp4 remuxer, http://godromo.com/gmt/profile?profile_id=6cabe9bd67a8dfde
A WEBM creator, http://godromo.com/gmt/profile?profile_id=468fa372b205cd86
The current release includes full versions of libx264 and other popular encoders and formats, so the quality and speed are all great.
How can I help?
We have tested gMT in our private releases, but we are sure there are plenty of issues that need to be ironed out.
