agaconv (script) invokes those 3 programs as commands. My idea was that you do the same, but with a GUI, replacing the agaconv script. Hollywood has in it's DOS library an Execute feature. That should allow to replicate the same behavior as agaconv script, just with a GUI? (I only read the docs, no idea if this works).

Yes, ham_convert, is freeware but not open-source.
I should have said: everything I wrote is open-source (the agaonv script and aagaconv-encode)
However, ham_convert is optional. For generating AGA videos it's not necessary. So there is a path that is pure open-source.

That's interesting, but see below.

You need to invoke agaconv-encode, otherwise you wouldn't get 24-bit AGA/HAM8 CDXL videos. So if Hollywood's Execute feature works the way I think it does, this could be a way to do it with Hollywood?
