  1. Hey Everyone!!!

    I have a folder of thousands of videos that have varying dimensions and aspect ratios..
    I need to resize all of the videos to 320x240 exactly, and I don't want to distort the aspect ratio of the original videos.

    Right now, I'm running the following batch script in Win7 to conform all of the widths to 320.. but to keep the aspect ratio correct, the height dimensions will vary:

    Code:
    set ffmpeg="C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
    for %%f in (*.flv) do %ffmpeg% -i "%%f" -vf "scale=320:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -crf:v 20 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -f flv -y ".\RESIZED\%%f_resized.flv"
    for %%f in (*.mp4) do %ffmpeg% -i "%%f" -vf "scale=320:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -crf:v 20 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -f mp4 -y ".\RESIZED\%%f_resized.mp4"
    for %%f in (*.avi) do %ffmpeg% -i "%%f" -vf "scale=320:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -crf:v 20 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -f mp4 -y ".\RESIZED\%%f_resized.mp4"
    How can I modify this script to ensure all resized videos are 320x240 exactly, and fill any blank space (due to the original video being too tall or too wide) with the color black?

    any input is greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

  2. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling%20%28resizing%29%20with%20ffmpeg

    based on this and on few other examples personally i use something like this (PSP):

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i %1 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -tune film -profile:v main  -crf 22 -b:v 1000k -x264opts  "level=30:vbv_maxrate=4000:vbv_bufsize=3000:cabac=1:b-pyramid=0:weightp=1:weightb=1:trellis=2:keyint=250:nal_hrd=none:bframes=7:ref=3:partitions=all:8x8dct=0:bluray-compat"  -vf "unsharp=3:3:2:3:3:2,scale=out_range=auto:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease:'if(gt(a,30/17),480,-1)':'if(gt(a,30/17),-1,272)':sws_flags=bicubic+accurate_rnd+full_chroma_inp+full_chroma_int:sws_dither=bayer,pad=480:272:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=sar=1/1"  -af  "lowpass=frequency=12000,volume=1.50,earwax,aresample=resampler=soxr:osr=48000:cutoff=0.65:dither_method=2"  -strict experimental -c:a aac -b:a 96k -ac 2 -shortest -f psp  %1.mp4
    In your case
    Code:
    pad=320:240:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2

  3. I seem to still be having an issue with this...

    To be honest, I'm getting a bit lost in your parameters.. so I tried to amend the section
    Code:
    pad=320:240:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2
    to my command line as follows:

    Code:
    set ffmpeg="C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
    for %%f in (*.mp4) do %ffmpeg% -i "%%f" -vf "pad=320:240:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" -crf:v 20 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -f mp4 -y ".\RESIZED\%%f_resized.mp4"
    ..but it returns the following error:

    I defiantly don't want to alter audio or anything like that.. just resize all videos to 320x240 and fill in any blank space with black to preserve aspect ratio..

    Can anyone spot where I'm going wrong??

  4. Try this - you need both (pad and resize) to resize and fill margins.

    ffmpeg -i %1 -vf "unsharp=3:3:2:3:3:2,scale=out_range=auto:force_or iginal_aspect_ratio=decrease:'if(gt(a,4/3),320,-1)':'if(gt(a,4/3),-1,240)':sws_flags=bicubic+accurate_rnd+full_chroma _inp+full_chroma_int,pad=320:240:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=sar=1/1" -crf:v 20 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -f mp4 -y %1.mp4

    I ran the script as follows:

    Is there anything wrong with my parimeters? I know ffmpeg run in a batch script in win7 can get picky about things like quotation marks, etc..


    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    my suggestion for a better batch syntax:
    Code:
    @echo off &setlocal
    set "ffmpeg=%ProgramFiles%\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
    for %%f in (*.mp4) do "%ffmpeg%" -i "%%~f" -vf "scale=out_range=auto:force_original_aspect_ratio= decrease:'if(gt(a,4/3),320,-1)':'if(gt(a,4/3),-1,240)',pad=320:240:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=sar=1/1" -crf:v 30 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -profile:v main -af "lowpass=frequency=10000,aresample=resampler=soxr: osr=48000:cutoff=0.50:dither_method=2" -strict experimental -c:a aac -b:a 64k -ac 2 -shortest -threads 2 -f mp4 -y "RESIZED\%%~nf_resized.mp4"
