Stu Leak cb5adfcfc7 fix: remove minimum size constraints for more fluid splitter movement 
Removed rigid minimum size constraints on metadata panel and labeled
panels to allow the horizontal splitter to move more fluidly across
the full range of the window.

Changes:
- Commented out outer.SetMinSize() in buildMetadataPanel (line 9282)
- Commented out rect.SetMinSize() in makeLabeledPanel (line 9267)

This addresses user feedback: "The horizontal movement of the spacer
between the settings and the player/metadata frames is way too tight,
we need to be able to move things way more fluidly."

VideoTools - Video Processing Suite

What is VideoTools?

VideoTools is a professional-grade video processing application with a modern GUI. It specializes in creating DVD-compliant videos for authoring and distribution.

Project Status

This project is under active development, and many documented features are not yet implemented.

For a clear, up-to-date overview of what is complete, in progress, and planned, please see our Project Status Page. This document provides the most accurate reflection of the project's current state.

Key Features

DVD-NTSC & DVD-PAL Output

  • Professional MPEG-2 encoding (720×480 @ 29.97fps for NTSC, 720×576 @ 25fps for PAL)
  • AC-3 Dolby Digital audio (192 kbps, 48 kHz)
  • DVDStyler compatible (no re-encoding warnings)
  • PS2 compatible (PS2-safe bitrate limits)
  • Region-free format (works worldwide)

Batch Processing

  • Queue multiple videos
  • Pause/resume jobs
  • Real-time progress tracking
  • Job history and persistence

Smart Features

  • Automatic framerate conversion (23.976p, 24p, 30p, 60p, VFR → 29.97fps)
  • Automatic audio resampling (any rate → 48 kHz)
  • Aspect ratio preservation with intelligent handling
  • Comprehensive validation with helpful warnings

Quick Start

Installation (One Command)

bash scripts/install.sh

The installer will build, install, and set up everything automatically with a guided wizard!

After installation:

source ~/.bashrc    # (or ~/.zshrc for zsh)
VideoTools

Alternative: Developer Setup

If you already have the repo cloned (dev workflow):

cd /path/to/VideoTools
bash scripts/build.sh
bash scripts/run.sh

For detailed installation options, troubleshooting, and platform-specific notes, see INSTALLATION.md. For upcoming work and priorities, see docs/ROADMAP.md.

How to Create a Professional DVD

  1. Start VideoTools → VideoTools
  2. Load a video → Drag & drop into Convert module
  3. Select format → Choose "DVD-NTSC (MPEG-2)" or "DVD-PAL (MPEG-2)"
  4. Choose aspect → Select 4:3 or 16:9
  5. Name output → Enter filename (without .mpg)
  6. Queue → Click "Add to Queue"
  7. Encode → Click "View Queue" → "Start Queue"
  8. Export → Use the .mpg file in DVDStyler

Output is professional quality, ready for:

  • DVDStyler authoring (no re-encoding needed)
  • DVD menu creation
  • Burning to disc
  • PS2 playback
