A black mask for a video again

[loninappleton]

I've tried to put together things from the earlier thread on this but it's a new job. So I'm doing it in screen shots where the new file name is designated as Electra.mkv in the bin folder of a fresh ffmpeg 7.

Does # have to be turned off with -#? That was not working right for me to post this.

cmd /k ffmpeg -i "ffmpeg -i "Electra.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 ^
-vf crop="in_w:in_h-62:0:0",pad="in_w:in_h+62:0:0",atadenoise,unsharp, atadenoise ^
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -preset medium -crf 22 ^
-c:a copy -c copy -y "Electra-new.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 ^
-vf crop="in_w:in_h-62:0:0",pad="in_w:in_h+62:0:0",atadenoise,unsharp, atadenoise ^
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -preset medium -crf 22 ^
-c:a copy -c copy -y "Electra-new.mkv"

I can add in screen shot samples and MediaInfo as needed.

This will have to be renamed a .cmd in the final

Another question I had was about the remark (pcspeak or other) that FFmpeg can be installed in the System32 folder to... avoid path errors? I'm not sure.

[edit] And I have no idea where those smiley characters are in the post.

put scripts it into a code tags, example:
[ CODE ]cmd /k ffmpeg ...[ /CODE ]

no spaces in that example within those square brackets

Yes, thanks. I should have remembered the style element.

Ok I got that much.

I see what the error is but I'll have to make something totally corrected. Trying to edit this code in Win10 gives a permissions error.



Plus I got a result from the code but that kicked out an error right at the first line. Screen shot for that follows:

I ran into some problems making and trying to edit the cmd for the errors. Some permission problem.
While I got through this whole routine before for the other project these errors seem new.
It could be I cannot edit things in a BIN folder. But that's the first thing that I have to change.

Also if I remade the code on the desktop in text I could not get it to save as cmd. It just wrote cmd.txt at the end.

Win 10 can't be that much different than Win7 where the old job was run.

I got past the editing problem which had to do with a step in loading cmd I forgot which is run as administrator. I got that prompt using
Notepad++ to try another edit. Notepad++ set the admin level and I made edits needed just to get the source and target files named properly.

A screen shot from running that shows the code doesn't really get past the first line:

 cmd /k ffmpeg -i "ffmpeg -i "Electra.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 ^
    -vf crop="in_w:in_h-62:0:0",pad="in_w:in_h+62:0:0",atadenoise,unsharp,atadenoise ^
    -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -preset medium -crf 22 ^
    -c:a copy -c:s copy -y "electra-new.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 ^
    -vf crop="in_w:in_h-62:0:0",pad="in_w:in_h+62:0:0",atadenoise,unsharp,atadenoise ^
    -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -preset medium -crf 22 ^
    -c:a copy -c:s copy -y "electra-new.mkv"
