Can you elaborate on the ethical reasons? I should mention that I'm not very smart.
FFmpeg's license has various requirements, including: "Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License."

i didn't bundle the ffmpeg in the app. It uses homebrew to install ffmpeg on the user's device. this is the acceptable way since ffmpeg confirms it on twitter/X. https://x.com/FFmpeg/status/1766649563891339510
This tweet also explicitly says " But still would be nice to have some credit. ". Why isn't FFmpeg mentioned on your app's website? The same goes for ImageMagick by the way.
Good job! Small bug report, when the UI is downloading the FFMPEG binaries, the UI says 'Astimed time' instead of 'Estimated time'.
Love the website, good job!
The website doesn't even mention FFmpeg which is the open source tool that does all the heavy work. Building a user-friendly GUI is a valuable work in itself (congrats on that, sincerely), but it's not okay to hide the open source tool that does all the work in the background. It should at least be visible in the FAQ that the open source FFmpeg tool is used by the app, with an appropriate link to FFmpeg's website. Th…
In general I agree, it gives me a sense of wholesomeness when companies open up about this and give credit to the authors of the libraries that their product contains. Credits.md somewhere is sufficient for that to me.
Congratz for this achievment :) I've down developing in private for >15 years now and even tho i wrote alot of stuff i never was motivated enaugh to "publish" something as product that i might need to support. Therefor - my respect!
While you are not too far into selling - a word of advice. Switch to offering a year of free updates and charge a small fee after that. Trust me. You will coverge to this scheme sooner or later, so do it now. - Standalone Windows installer is a must. Windows Store is still a deserted wasteland and is not a default choice for the vast majority of Windows users. You are losing a ton of users over this. - ffmpeg and oth…

> signing your app, which requires obtaining a certificate (which also requires forming a company that is not an LLC) and waiting more than a month while navigating multiple rounds of bureaucracy. This is not true, not as phrased. A. You can get a cert issued in your personal name. Not an EV one, but still. B. You are likely to already have a company if you are selling online. C. It doesn't take "a month" even for an…
Who was your EV cert vendor? I've recently used two different vendors, replied within minutes to each of their queries in hopes of expediting the process, but each time it took the better part of 2 months before I was in possession of a USB signing key. This is for a Delaware C-corp, so it was about as vanilla as it could be for their side.
It took some searching, but it turns out that they spun off their non-subscription certificate business under the name of GoGetSSL. This entity resells other vendors too, but if you get their "own" certificate, which is the cheapest of the bunch, the validation is done by Digicert. So, that's the answer for the time being.
Entrust, Globalsign, Certum are way more expensive, slow and bureaucratic. Comodo (or Sectigo, which is the same thing) are just utter crap. Their validation process is an India-outsourced torture. Never again. Not even for free.
