CalipsoBazar bundles a video converter, a video downloader and a player under the same roof, making it easier for you to manipulate multimedia files in batch.

You should know right from the start that CalipsoBazar only acts as a GUI wrapper for three other open-source applications, namely youtube-dl, FFmpeg and MPV, which together provide the basis of its feature set. In other words, the three aforementioned software tools are prerequisites for CalipsoBazar. You must download all three of them and place the main executable files within the "libraries" folder, to be recognized by CalipsoBazar. Otherwise, as you will surely notice, some of the options in CalipsoBazar will be grayed out.

Although it comes with a minimalistic set of options, the video converter in CalipsoBazar does its job well. You get to choose the input and the output locations, but you can also use the default directories in the CalipsoBazar folders, which are already created.

The converter can extract the audio streams from the input MP4 videos and save them either as MP4 or MP3 files. There are a few additional settings that allow video rotation and thumbnail creation.

CalipsoBazar's video downloader is based on youtube-dl and enables you to grab any clip on YouTube and save it locally. Usage is simple: you simply have to paste the link to the online video or YouTube playlist, while all the other options can be set to default, keeping things simple. On the other hand, you can change the download speed and choose to also save the file in MP3 format.

CalipsoBazar makes use of MPV to allow video playback of online clips. To put it another way, you will not see the classic player interface with playback controls in CalipsoBazar. Instead, you have to paste the link to the online video you want to watch, and the clip will be played in a separate window, at the selected quality. MPV offers the full feature set of any video player.

The goal of CalipsoBazar is to bring together the power of three video processing tools without you having to configure and use them separately. While it does accomplish its mission, there are a few drawbacks. First, the application has no functionality of its own, as all its functions are based on youtube-dl, FFmpeg, and MPV. Secondly, it closes after each operation besides playback, which is quite annoying. Last but not least, CalipsoBazar limits the array of output formats, although it is based on FFmpeg, which supports many more file types than MP4 and MP3.
