This code generates an H.264 file (-c libx264 switch).

It doesn't work. I've tried -i A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv -preset slower -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -c:a aac -b:a 192k A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mp4

AND

ffmpeg -i A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv -preset slower -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -c:a aac -b:a 192k A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mp4

neither works. They say no such file or directory. Am I putting the command in wrong ?

Use quotation marks in names as I wrote earlier.

ffmpeg -i "A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv" -preset slower -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -c:a aac -b:a 192k "A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mp4"

Good lord, I'm dense...

How long does this take ? It looks like the speed is .05x. If the file is 3.97gb, won't it take forever ? It's been a couple hours so far. I can't check the progress as the cmd doesn't say anything about the time it'll take and the resulting file doesn't have a size to it yet.

It depends on the speed of your computer. The size of the resulting file can be estimated based on the bitrate, but why?

[davexnet]

It uses -preset slower, depending on your cpu it may take a while.
4k video, even slower.
You could change it to -preset medium, should be much faster
with the trade-off of a bit larger final file (medium preset is the default if it's not specified
at all)
Could have set this up in HB or Vidcoder in about 5 minutes

Some people like to learn the command line but not everyone
