FFmpeg Batch for Windows

[Eibol]

Hi, I have been doing some testing in Windows 8/10 and priority seems to work, ffmpeg process priority is changed if you check in task manager.

When setting high priority it becomes tough to open anything, and when setting lower priorities, using computers becomes more fluid, and ffmpeg cpu usage decreases depending on your computer usage. On low priority or idle, only when nothing is happening ffmpeg cpu usage goes back to 90% or above.

I have added some priority code in this beta, it can be used once conversion starts. You can try the feature, I hope it fulfills your needs.

Thanks for your effort, I tested the beta but seems the priority set within the drop down list doesn't affect the ffmpeg process. Neither the current process, neither the following process.

Tested with SysInternals Process Explorer. ffmpeg Process Priority keeps on 8 (Normal).

Hi Eibol, here is how I tested the process priority.

Using SysInternals Process Explorer
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
Click right on Columns header, "Select columns..."
Process performance Tab, adding "Base priority"

Into FFBatch I selected Idle

But into process explorer ffmpeg processes keep at Priority 8 (Normal). Dunno what I do wrong but on my side, processes priority are not altered.

Hi again, thanks for your testing.

I have been checking with the same tool and now it seems to work fine, ffmpeg process changes to priority 4. The beta version you were trying just changed priority once process had started, it still needed some work. Just note that only ffmpeg processes are affected by priority change since they do the real work, the main ffbatch interface process is not affected.

I'm releasing right now the new version 1.5.8 with this and other features.

I tested with last version and is working perfectly now
Thanks a lot for all your work, this tool is now a really helper for encoding ProRes.

Is there any way to set subtitles as forced with FFMpeg? (so avoiding to use MKVToolnix for the purpose)

[Eibol]

I think you mean "default track", that is, subtitle is shown on default playback, you don't need to select the subtitle.
FFmpeg parameter for this is 'disposition', like in this example:

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -i in.srt -c copy -disposition:s:0 default out.mkv

With FFmpeg Batch for Windows you can do it in Stream Multiplex right-click menu (Change default status), or in Batch Subtitles tab in the "Default track" dropdown menu.

[sharer777]

No...I meant exactly "Forced Track"...a common feature in MKVToolnix...and in DVD/BluRay. Those are fixed subtitles you can't disable.

[Eibol]

No idea then with ffmpeg. It must be an mkv format feature flag.

[Urr]

Would it be possible to add Hebrew (heb) to the list of subtitles languages?
Or better, take the list of languages from external XML file so anyone can add languages to the list.
Thanks!

[Eibol]

Hi, I have added Hebrew to the languages list in this beta version. You can test it replacing your current executable:

Adding many languages would need some redesign in the future.

Does it have an option to do some filtering or it's a muxing tool?
I was thinking on the sharpening filter that XVID4PSP uses (as far as I know it's a ffmpeg sharpening filter?)

[Eibol]

You can do any encoding or use any filtering available in ffmpeg, this is just a Windows interface. You just need to figure out the right parameters.
Maybe this page can help about your question.

is there a way to import a avs script into your software?

[Eibol]

No, sorry, that is beyond this application scope.

sorry i am noob, how can we do soft mkv to hardsub mp4 batch?

thanks for the app, really useful

[Eibol]

Hi, there is no way to achieve that in one step, you could first extract subtitle from all mkvs, using a extract subtitle preset, and then in batch subtitles tab, you could add the mkvs and select the subtitle, enabling the option to hardcode (burn subtitles) and selecting you video enconding paramenters.

hi, can i set limit to multi-file queue processing?

[Eibol]

Hi, it is not possible, the routine used limits the simultaneous processes depending on the cpu cores/threads available.
It was possible in earlier versions, but I could not show progress information for it.

hi, can i set limit to multi-file queue processing?

[Eibol]

If for some reason you still need the old feature, I have rescued the old manual multi-file processing (brown button with numeric selector), so you can select the maximum number of files processed simultaneously.

You can replace your current executable with this one to try it:

hello i'm using right now this great tool for batch converting some videos in my pc.
i'm with the portable version, and i found that the software don't save the user picked output path, and also that don't save the cpu priority.
will be very useful for me you if you can modify those two little problems.
very thanks

[Eibol]

Hi, None of those settings are saved in either portable or installer version. I'll try to add them somehow on next version, though I'm not aire about the conveniente of it.

Hi again, I have released this portable test version with saving default output folder.
Default process priority can also be saved once processing starts.

https://drive.upm.es/index.php/s/7wbEkvgeJCmP6qW/download

You can try and let me know if it works as expected.
