FFmpeg Batch for Windows

[g71]

I suggest you TagScanner.

You can learn about it here: https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/FFmpeg_Metadata

Can you help me please?

I want to convert metadata of audio books into file names. Like InAudible does:
Into "Author-Title-(Narrator).mp3", for example.

Thank you.

Thank you, I am not sure how to use it with FFmpeg Batch AV converter so far..

Hi. I'm trying to record videos but there is no audio on the output on the default preset but i cannot select audio capture device.
I installed the "Setup.Screen.Capturer.Recorder.v0.12.11.exe" with the link in the Screen capture window but it doesn't show up.

Also, how to record with QuickSync (H265), what are the parameters? Because there is no preset for this codec.

Thanks

You can use equivalent parameters, and add audio encoding info like this:

-c:v hevc_qsv -c:a aac -b:a 128K

When i try this the resulting video is 560~ kbps and very laggy with skipped frames. I am using UHD 770 if that matters

Hi, maybe yt-dlp (a fork for youtube-dl) is not updated, automatic update is disabled in that version (I'll fix it for next release). Try downloading and copying it to application folder, and then check again. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2022.02.04/yt-dlp.exe

Yep that fixed it when i replaced your version with the newest one.

can we replace the mkv header data using ffmpeg? kind check this one please:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/405146-How-to-edit-mkv-file-video-title-using-batch-script

[Eibol]

Hi, I don't know how to that with ffmpeg, only file metadata title, like in

-c copy -metadata Title="Test"

[iKron]

is there anyway app can auto detect the black bar and remove it?

[iKron]

ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -vf cropdetect -f null -

this command can detect the black border, is there anyway we can use it to auto crop?

@Eibol if you need sample file to test let me know.

[Eibol]

Hi, it could be a nice development, but for some time I have to pause support.
Maybe in the future.

ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -vf cropdetect -f null -

this command can detect the black border, is there anyway we can use it to auto crop?

@Eibol if you need sample file to test let me know.

[iKron]

thank you so much for considering if you can add in future.

handbrake and other few app has auto crop option.

[Eibol]

Just for testing purposes, have you tried something like this (provided black bars are always present during the video):

Step one:
Parameters: -ss 00:00:10 -t 1 -vf cropdetect -f null -
Format: nul

Then check log file for any of the recommended crop parameters, and use directly, like in this example (1920x1080 -> 1920x800):

Step two:

-c:v libx264 -crf 21 -vf crop=1920:800:0:140 -c:a copy

thank you so much for considering if you can add in future.

Hi, I can't download the file.
Also, to get the cropdetect it is required to enable "more verbose logs" at settings, I forgot.

[iKron]

yes it's working, will it be possible to implement automated crop? like if we select autocrop app will auto detect and auto add the parameters?

[Eibol]

If I find a quick way to do so, it may be included for next release.

Hey, does anybody encountered random stops of encoding? I am doing mainly h264 -> h265, but also h265 -> h265 have problems. Using nvenc.
Encoding randomly just stops after few % of progress. In task manager, FFmpeg process just drops to 0% of CPU usage, using about few hundreds MB of RAM. Progressbar and numbers in FFmpeg Batch stops and nothing happens until I manually cancel encoding.
There is nothing in log, just regular lines about encoding bitrate, speed, etc. If I check "make more verbose log" it will not start to encode at all. Numbers and progressbar are not changing.

Tried multiple various video files, encountered this problem in all of them.

Hardware:
Ryzen 7 3700x
16GB DDR4
GTX1060 6GB
Win11 x64 with latest updates

What I tried or observed:
1. this problem is in every version newer than 2.5.4. Versions 2.6.x were probably never released, as I cant find any. Tried every version from 2.7.0 to 2.7.6. Portable version have this problem too.

2. updated GPU drivers. no help.
3. tried older versions of ffmpeg.exe on 2.7.x, even ffpmeg.exe v4.4 from working FFmpeg Batch v2.5.4. No help. I think that problem is probably in FFmpeg Batch encoder itself and not in ffmpeg.exe. On the contrary, FFmpeg Batch v2.5.4 with latest ffmpeg.exe v5.0.1 works OK.

4. tried changing GPU decode from "none" to "cuda", "dxva" "d3d11va". No help.
5. if I click "try it on console", it works OK, which is weird. Maybe some problem with GUI itself?

Thanks in advance

Hey @eibol ! Thank you for the updates.

One of the new features is bugging me, and am wondering if it can be disabled. Once a job is finished, I'll exit the app (either by closing the opened window, or, while its minimized, I will right-click the app on the taskbar and close from there). The next time I open the app, it will complain that my old job didn't finish properly, and will fill the list with the previous files, and have the previous preset loaded in the drop-down. I now have to "clear list" each time I launch. Anyone else having this problem?

*Update* another problem is that, with FFMPEG Batch closed, i will then double-click a Saved Queue file (.ffq file). The app will launch and do the above, instead of opening the saved queue. So I hit Clear List, then double-click the .ffq file again. That does not work - for some reason the ffq file itself is placed in the list of files to be processed (which errors, of course)

So it seems what must be done is 1) clear the list, 2) exit the app, and then 3) open the .ffq file.

[iKron]

how can i enable "no-sao" parameters?
i tried this command, but getting error

edit: nvm problem is solved!

[LigH.de]

Codec specific parameters always need both a name and a value. (Multiple parameters are separated by ':' colons.)

-x265-params "no-sao=1"

See also: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/401771-FFMPEG-X265-Parameter-help-please


In addition:

There is a set of internal (private) parameters and a set of external (published) parameters, and they are not both the same. So the x265 CLI encoder uses e.g. preset and tuning meta parameters which have an impact on several internal basic parameters.

MediaInfo reports the codec's internal parameters. But to change the behaviour in the separate x265 CLI encoder or in the additional x265-params parameter ffmpeg command line, you need to know the external parameter names, as reported in the x265 CLI encoder full help report, but knowing the syntax translation. Unfortunately, this is not totally trivial...

[iKron]

i actualy added double parameter which is why it was not working. thank you again for explaining it more.

@shiro100

same have u find a fix for it ?

where is try it on console at?

[shiro100]

yay, im not alone
