One more question, how can I overwrite the old metadata after encoding? Mediainfo juxtaposes both the information.

I have a bundle of sports video that I've been cutting and converting to half speed. The parameters I'm using are:
-c:v libx265 -crf 25 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 64k -x265-params "keyint=30:min-keyint=10" -vf "setpts=2*PTS" -af "atempo=0.5"
For several years I was getting output that had a framerate matching the source video (most commonly 59.94 fps) and ever since I updated to Version 3.0.6 I've been getting output at a constant framerate of 25 fps. All of my conversions, regardless of the -crf I've set or the source video framerate - are now coming out with a framerate of 25 fps.
I looked at some videos converted using Version 3.0.2 and they seem to have retained the original framerate. Maybe it's just a bug?
Edit: Looking into it further, the change has occurred concurrent with the writing library "x265 3.5+111" now being "x265 3.5+117", so perhaps that change is affecting the code. I will downgrade to Version 3.0.5 and see if the issue persists.
I uninstalled v3.0.6 and installed v3.0.5 but couldn't get it to run (got a .NET Framework error saying Input string was not in a correct format), so I uninstalled v3.0.5 and installed v3.0.2. I encoded a video and it encoded without changing the framerate.
Hopefully this is just a bug that can get fixed.

Maybe something related to ffmpeg.exe, you can use latest FFmpeg Batch Converter version, replacing ffmpeg.exe with another one without the "bug".

Hi Eibol! Yes I am seeing this problem with ffmpeg.exe (I know this is something you cannot control). But would like to share this issue as some may think that FFBatch is responsible. My example is this: I have a TV series in x264 that I'm trying to convert to x265, using my preferred parameters. The process starts at 0.0% and immediately status changes to Error. It moves on to the next file, Error. All the way through the queue. When I look at the log / console, I see the usual processing line that ffmpeg.exe spits out:
"frame= 16 fps= 15 q=35.0 size= 5KiB time=N/A bitrate=N/A speed=N/A"
With no actual error message. It just quits right after it starts. I then try the ffmpeg.exe that is bundled with FFBatch manually (v7.0.1), via the command line. Same result. It just quits after it starts processing, with no error message. I also grabbed the latest/newest ffmpeg.exe (from May 2024), with the same result.
So to test, I have an older ffmpeg.exe that is in my path for easy access when I'm doing things manually. I haven't updated that .exe since April 2022. I run that ffmpeg.exe on this same TV show and it is processing fine, without quitting. For the record, that working version is: "ffmpeg version 5.0.1-essentials_build".
So I have copied that older ffmpeg.exe to my FFMpegBatch program folder, accepted the Trust prompt on launch, and it is processing the queue successfully now. -

Good to know. I thought that kind of an error was possible, but dismissed it due to the vast number of people who use any given version of ffmpeg. Is there some functionality the latest version of FB could lose with an earlier version of ffmpeg?
Edit: I reinstalled v3.0.6 and tried a workaround that worked. I replaced the parameter "setpts=2*PTS" to "setpts=2*PTS,fps=30000/1001" to try to force a 29.97 fps (59.94 fps original) video, which is probably better anyway since I'm halving the speed and otherwise just doubling frames.
- Thanks

Hello Thread,
Could Eibol or anyone else give some guidance on the screen capture audio setup? I installed the drivers as directed, but there's still nothing that shows up in the dropdown under "Select Audio Capture Device". I can use the little button on the bottom to select my PC stereo mix, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried using the directshow flags in the README file, but they don't seem to be supported either. Has anyone gotten this to work, and can they give some help, because the existing documentation is pretty bare.
Just trying with the standard preset:
-r 24 -c:a aac -b:a 128K
BTW, Have to say that I love the program, Eibol. It's been incredibly useful and is fast and efficient. And playing with the presets has taught me a lot about ffmpeg, but its so much more convenient and easy to use FFBatch. Thanks!
Ish
Currently trying on Windows 11, XPS 13 with integrated graphics, but I can try on my video station if it would make a difference. -
Sorry, I haven't used FFBatch to do screen capture but have you considered OBS? It's made for capture and is also free/open source. It can capture from external sources as well as your displays or application windows, and doesn't take very long to set up.

Hi lazividehlp,
Thanks! I was actually just starting to look into and it looks like it will work great. I just find FFMPEGBatch so useful I was hoping to find another way to use and avoid more software, especially on my little laptop, but it seems like this is complicated enough, OBS will work and its also Open Source which is great. So thanks for the solution.

EDIT: Updated url for virtual audio playback capture. https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-recorder-to-video-windows-free/releases
Hi, actually screen capture feature is pretty basic in FFBatch, just a convenience way for quick simple screen recordings.
I see that virtual audio driver is not updated since 2020, that's probably the reason it no longer works win latest Windows 10-10.
I agree OBS Studio is best for this purpose, I use it too. Anyway I'll search for a virtual audio driver replacement, just to keep the recording feature being actually useful.

Every time I try to convert an audio file that is longer than ten minutes (maybe even shorter, I'm not sure), the encoding process goes on forever and never finishes. If I try to abort the encode, it starts aborting but never finishes. If I try to exit the program, it refuses to let me exit because it is still aborting and I have to go into Task Manager and kill all the Ffpeg Batch Converter processes.
It's been processing an 11 minute 51 second file for over 40 minutes right now.
EDIT: I updated to version 3.0.6 and after getting errors over and over about ffmpeg being corrupt, I finally found the version I use in the older Ffmpeg Batch Converter and after having to tell Windows it was safe to use (which I've never had to do before), version 3.0.6 finally opened for me. I loaded the 12 minute music file and version 3.0.6 had no problem encoding the mp3 in no time at all.Last edited by DarrellS; 15th Jun 2024 at 23:20.

Hi, sometimes ffmpeg output does not display progress, so application looks frozen, but encoding is actuallly still working.
On next release if this is the case, ffmpeg command line output will display on progress bar.
I'm also allowing to disable ffmpeg.exe checksum validation.

Hi all. sorry for my bad english. I'm new to video encoding.
I have a video file MPEG-H HEVC Video / 52,3 Mbps / 3840x2160 / 23,976 fps / 16:9 / Main 10 Profile 5.1 High / 4:2:0 / 1000nits / Dolby Vision Profile 8 - HDR10 / BT.2020 (DB and HDR10 Hybrid) and I want to lower the bitrate with FFmpeg Batch to 20 Mbps and leave everything else as is (audio copy, BT.2020, DV, HDR10, etc.) . can someone tell me the parameters for this? encoder hevc_nvenc

Just found this site, and this app... nice! and thank you!
question... I have many MP4 videos that I want to rescale/resize from 4k to 2k. What Preset (or specific settings) should I use inside Batch?
thx!!! -
Excellent program, with interface much more convenient than the command line.
For my own use I have included presets for intermediate codecs if it may be helpful I attach the scripts:
Code:PR: Video: convert to ProRes ST 10 bit & -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 2 -vendor apl0 -bits_per_mb 8000 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -an -y -hide_banner -stats % mov PR: Video: convert to ProRes 422 HQ 10 bit & -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -vendor apl0 -bits_per_mb 8000 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -an -y -hide_banner -stats % mov PR: Video: convert to ProRes 4444 XQ 10 bit & -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 5 -vendor apl0 -bits_per_mb 8000 -pix_fmt yuva444p10le -an -y -hide_banner -stats % mov PR: Video: convert to DNxHQ 8 bit & -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -an -y -hide_banner -stats % mov PR: Video: convert to DNxHR HQX 10 bit & -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hqx -an -y -hide_banner -stats % mov

"Hello, love this app which replaced a lot of previous one i was using,
unfortunatly the nividia hardware encoder is not working anymore since the last version. only my intel acceleration one (QSV) is working.
any idea what change ? here an example of what it work
-c:v h264_qsv -preset fast -profile:v high -b:v 8192K -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 320K -ac 2
or
-c:v h264_qsv -crf 18 -c:a aac -b:a 192K -ac 2
and what it doesn't work anymore
-c:v h264_nvenc -crf 19 -c:a aac -b:a 320K -ac 2
by the way, my nvidia card is used as secondary card , not the main one (i use my intel i7 hd 630 igpu as main). the error is that it doesn't seem to see the card anymore. so only way to use the app now is to use the igpu which is slower than the nvidia one unfortunatly."Last edited by Martyprod; 10th Jul 2024 at 05:59.

FFmpeg_Batch_AV_Converter_Portable_3.0.1_x64 works fine but FFmpeg_Batch_AV_Converter_Portable_3.0.6_x64 has become unusable. Constantly getting the ffmpeg is corrupt error over and over. Even the one that v.3.0.1 uses from Hybrid. It tells me every single ffmpeg version on my machine is corrupt. Sometimes I can get by the error by giving it permission and sometimes I can't. I thought I had and tried to encode a folder and every file failed.
Maybe put your own version of ffmpeg in the program folder so we don't have to go searching for one or get rid of the checksum altogether.
Every single ffmpeg file I have works fine on it's own but ffmpeg Batch sees them all as corrupt. -
Please try version 3.0.7, you can disable ffmepg.exe validation and get rid of your problems.

Thanks for the reply. I installed 3.0.7 yesterday and got the error right off the bat (I didn't notice the Do Not Validate ffmpeg" box) but after giving permission, I haven't had any more issues with it. If I do, I'll check the box for "Do not validate ffmpeg".
I had to go to the website to download the new version because I did not see a link to the new version here and I never get notices on the Ffmpeg Batch AV Converter software. Every version I've ever had has an error in the top right corner when I open it giving the version number and saying "Connection Error" and every time I click check for updates, nothing ever happens. That's with two different internet providers. -
How do you load URLs from a text file. I saw in an earlier post where you said you could paste the links into a text file and use the "Add Files" button to load the text file but when I try that, I get the same number of urls listed but they are all the first address of the first file.
Is there a way to load a bunch of links without having to load them one at a time. It's very time consuming copying all the links into a text file and then having to copy and load them one at a time. -
-
It doesn’t matter if I load “Ballad Of Easy Rider 1” or “Ballad Of Easy Rider 2”. Ffmpeg Batch AV Converter shows all the files but when it “Validates The URLs” it shows eleven copies of the last song on the list.
If I load the URLs from “Ballad Of Easy Rider 1” one at a time, I get an error message about ffmpeg after each file is validated which I have to close to load the next file. This happens on every file. I don’t have that problem with “Ballad Of Easy Rider 2”.
I put spaces between each file to see if it would help and I got an error message saying that some of the URLs are from youtube and some of them are not.
Something else I’ve noticed is that after I process all the files, one file is missing in the output folder and I have to figure out which URL it is and reload it and process it again. I believe this is a bug with yt-dlp because when I use yt-dlp GUI, sometimes when I download a file, it acts like it’s downloading but nothing happens and I have to hit the download button again.
It would be nice if yt-dlp showed opus as the audio file instead of webm so you didn‘t have to rename every file. Maybe you could put and opus option in the drop down box for the output type. -
I looked at the manual and noticed the address in the screenshot and it was shortened so I tried...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKQ0F37LhpM
...and got an HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
I used the address in Chrome and the Youtube page opened and played the video just fine.
EDIT: All the other files showed ready so I re-validated the first file and it said ready so I clicked Sequential Download and it downloaded all the files.Last edited by DarrellS; 18th Jul 2024 at 12:41.

Hi, I've remove the optional url parameters and now validation seems to work fine and urls are not duplicated.
[Attachment 80814 - Click to enlarge]
You can try it this patched executable replacing existing one. -
Hello, i would like to create a preset to bring audio levels from videos in batch to the same level, specifically the YouTube standard of -14 LUFS. It would help if it would be possible to just give FFmpeg Batch a db value and let it do the rest. I found a code on another site that would do that in one row (not two tasks), would that help you providing this preset, as I can see that it is not possible to do wahat I want with FFmpeg Batch as it is now.
-
I have never been able to back up my Presets. I am using Version 3.0.8 Portable. I always get this message no matter where I try to save the backup and have to manually create each of my personal presets from a prior version.
An error occurred while saving settings.
Could not find path 'C:\Users\ValuedCustomer\AppData\Roaming\FFBatch\ff_batch_presets.ini
Also, could you make the program stop showing ffmpeg errors that prevent me from opening the program unless I click on all the error messages. It all begins with telling the program which ffmpeg to use. Since ffmpeg does not list a file version (I don't have a file version on any of the ffmpeg files on my computer) that is the first error I get telling me the file is corrupt. Then, every time I try to open the program it tells me that ffmpeg failed to open correctly and asks me to close ffmpeg. When I click OK it opens the program and ffmpeg works perfectly.
