Right Click Convert tool??

[Cauptain]

Hi guys,

Is there any encoder that operates using the "Send to" or Right Click" encode?

If not, is there any way to create scripts with ffmpeg to do this?

Thanks

You can put any batch file in your SendTo folder. Then Right Click -> Send To -> BatchName.bat to send files to it. For example, you can use this in a batch file to recompress the video with ffmpeg (x264), keep the original audio, and put the result in an MKV:

"c:\program files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg" -i %1 -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 18  -c:a copy "%~dpn1.mkv"

You can also add custom context menu on right click for ffmpeg or HandBrakeCLI (handbrake command line)
with Default Program Editor:

Guys,

I mix the 2 solutions. script by Jagabo and right click for roma_turok. The command line screen open and close.

Wheres my fault? I download FFMPEG from here - 32bits, extract to folder, copy the jagabo source, only change ffmpeg patch. Nothing.

Try with mp4 and avi files. I dont know handbrake cml.

Add "pause" (without the quotes) to the end of the script and it will keep command line window open. Then copy & paste the error message or what it says back here

Using PAUSE not work for me if using with DEFAULT EDITOR. The screen open/close only.

Open CMD and run, its give me the screens below:






PS: Jagabo script drag drop works perfect!!

Jagabo, how to get MP4 instead MKV?

I change to MP4 and not work.




Claudio

[Cauptain]

After some tries, maybe understand the process.

Using jagabo script, I get bat2exe and create a exe file to "send To".



Work flawless but MKV only.

I need .MP4 files and will make a perfect solution for me.

The container is specified by the output file extension. So just change it from .MKV to .MP4. Since the command doesn't reencode the audio be sure the source audio is valid for MP4.

In your earlier failed run in post #6 you didn't have quotes around the ffmpeg filename spec. So it interpreted "C:\Program" as the program to run, not "C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpge\bin\ffmpeg". File names with spaces in them require quotes around them, otherwise the spaces act as delimiters.

I change to MP4 but not work. Its give me 0kb file. MKV script works ok



I need a script to any video file to MP4.

PCM WAV is not supported by open source MP4 muxers . Either change the audio (e.g. AAC) , or use another container (e.g. MOV, MKV)

this works fine when the source is a direct .avi file via right-click-send-to
"d:\ffmpeg" -i %1 -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 18 "%~dpn1.mkv"

but when i wrap that .avi file inside an avs script, and right-click-send-to on the .avs file, i get this error

-c:v: Protocol not found

or, i get the same error message as Claudio's

%1: No such file or directory

* my ffmpeg is in my d: drive/folder.
* that file does not have audio, so i removed the -c:a copy
* the .avi file is an UT codec 720x480 capture. (only, i forgot to set the audio driver to capture audio)

To compress the audio with AAC: http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC

For example:

"c:\program files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg" -i %1 -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 18  -c:a libvo_aacenc -ab 128k "%~dpn1.mp4"

[vhelp]

it works when the codec is Lagarith. So, it may appear to be a codec problem, either with ffmpeg or x264 or both. i'm testing that theory now, by resaving the UT codec .avi file (virtualdub) as Lagarith codec .avi file.

EDIT: false alarm. I had a trim() function in the script that was way past the source limit i was testing this on. dah. sorry for the high-jack.

Many thanks Jagabo.

My mother be able to share all videos with her family.

I will learn about ffmpeg cli too.
