FFmpeg Batch for Windows

[kiumut]

Hi Eibol

Thanks for your program. I love it. I had been using FFMPEG from the command line for years because I like having finer grained control. (Plus, it's easier for me to screw up an encoding that way ) But, your program's profiles make things so much easier than having to remember different command line entries for different tasks.

I have a couple of feature requests (or maybe I am overlooking something). Would it be possible to retain the addition and placement of custom columns across sessions? It's not a big deal to add them when the program is started, but it seems that they need to be added before loading videos into the processing list. For me, anyway, if I forget and load up some videos first, the GUI will hang if I add the custom columns *after* loading videos.

Also, while the "Remember window position" setting works, can you add "Remember window size", (or just "Remember window position and size", too?

Again, neither is a big deal, just something I find myself doing repeatedly every time I open the program.

Thanks!

Problem solved:

I tried to change the ffmpeg with Eibol link but I had another error.

Today I copied the ffmpeg file from 2.2.4 and I overwrite it into 2.3.0 version.

Now work!

I know it's a late reply, but, in addition to regressing to the older versions of FFMPEG, you can always compile your own binaries if the ones that Eibol includes (I believe these have been Gyan's full builds since Zeranoe stopped releasing build) do not have the functionality you seek. The media-autobuild_suite from RiCON makes compiling your own trivial under Windows and you can include, --enable, and --extra anything and everything under the sun. Just download the build script from here https://gitlab.com/RiCON/media-autobuild_suite and run it. It will prompt you step-by-step of what you wish to include or not and build the binaries for you.

Does this software support 3D LUT (.cube, etc.) and Rigaya's NVEnc ?

Thanks.

[Eibol]

Hi, I'll have both suggestions into account for next release.
Cheers
Edit: Window size is already stored, it should remember window size and location according to my tests.

Hello and thank you Eibol for your software, it is really great.
I have a suggestion for a future version, is it possible to add the possibility to execute a command line at the end of the execution of a file in the batch processing.
I would like to be able to run this command after each file processed: mkvpropedit.exe file.mkv -- xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[Eibol]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I think it's a good feature, I hope to include for next release.

My laptop has amd radeon in it and i use to use gpu decode amd witch is vce name but i noticed latest version its not listed anymore anymore as gpu decode. It use to be listed not sure what version it was listed last. Was it removed from ffmpeg batch. If it was how come?

[April]

Thank you Eibol for considering my request
I use this command because FFmpeg after transcoding does not update the video bitrate in mediainfo.
mkvpropedit" xxx.mkv --add-track-statistics-tags

Hi, the application only lists the available sources provided by ffmpeg as decoders. I have no further control about that.
If you can't find it, you may add it manually as a pre-input parameter, if actually ffmpeg supports it.

Hi Eibol,

thanks for your batch program - works like a charm. I do have a feature request though.
Is it possible to integrate the deinterlace function? (yadif)
It would be very useful for older video material.
Thanks
Michael

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I don't know much about deinterlacing, but I guess you can play with it just adding

-vf yadif

to your parameters, or check documentation if default filter values are not good for your purposes.

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#yadif-1

There are three parameters, they can be use like -vf yadif="0:0:0"

@Eibol,

In the portable version (2.3.7), I encounter this error/warning when I try to do the sleep prevention setting.

Any idea why this happens?

[Eibol]

Hi JKyle, thanks for the report, it's a bug of my latest portable reconfiguration. It'll be fixed for next release.

You can use this patched exe to test it.

Well, unfortunately, it's not fixed by the patch.
Actually it's worse than before. The sleep setting warning pops up every time I launch the program.

[Eibol]

Ooops, I found another wrong path. I hope this patched executable finally fixed it.

After reading the latest reviews, just a reminder that in latest 2.3.7, Portable version issues have been addressed, now settings are no longer saved on appdata folder.

On next release one remaining bug on portable version is solved, and some other features I'm working on will be available, like:

- Overall encoding speed and fps displayed during sequential and multi-file encoding (good for performance comparison).
- Average speed/fps displayed after queue encoding and saved to log.
- New feature to run command on each successfuly encoded output file.
- Custom columns layout saved and reloaded on startup.

Cheers

Hello Eibol
Thank you very much for this new version of your software.

Could you tell me how to use it ?
- New feature to run command on each successfuly encoded output file.

have a nice day

[Eibol]

Great, just right there

When I use file list filtering with :
video codec - any stream - h264 (or other) - keep
the filtering works fine, but if I use :
audio codec - any stream - eac3 (or other) - keep
the filtering doesn't work

[Eibol]

Right, thanks, I found the issue. It is solved in this executable.

Thank you, the filtering works well !

Should punctuation stop subtitle burn in?

example

Y:\New to Process\Movie's (2021)\Movie's (2021).srt

Removing apostrophe from folder and file naming allowed conversion.

how can we set limit-tu? i getting error if i add following command for x265

-limit-tu 4

some x265 command i found here

Because that is not a native FFMPEG option, but rather a libx265 one, you must pass it specifically to x265.

 -c:v libx265 -x265-params "limit-tu=4:tu-inter-depth=4"

BTW, if you change "limit-tu" to any non-zero value, your must also set "tu-inter-depth" greater than 1, or "limit-tu" will revert back to the default 0 with just a warning and proceed, i.e., your encoding will complete without error, but with "limit-tu=0".

thanks

Bug report (maybe)...

Currently using v2.3.2 Portable, so pls correct me if v.2.3.7 has fixed this.

Upon completion of an encoding queue and with 'delete files when finished' checked, sometimes there is a pop-up stating some files could not be deleted.
However said files are in the recycle bin, not in source lfolder!

Thanx.

Settings files - Updating from v232 to v238 Portable?

For v232 - I found the settings .ini files in C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Roaming
For v238 - I see there is an empy 'settings' folder made under the portable location folder.

How do we copy / transfer our presets and settings?
- simply copy > paste or... ??

[Frasier]

Re. New Feature in v238: - New feature to run command on each successfuly encoded output file

What is the syntac for the Arguments?
- are any quotes (") needed around them or...?

eg. if I want to run ffmpeg.exe with arguments -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -b:a 96K -ar 44.1K
- this results in an error, so do I need quotes around them or... ?

[iKron]

how can we burn .ass subtitle manually. i tried this but getting error

-c:v libx264 -crf 20 -c:a copy -vf "ass=D\:\\Download\\aa.ass"
