Batch Scan (Manually or Auto)

[CoLt-[45]]

Is there's such tools that can do a batch work to scan the entire mkv videos (1680 videos) and give results back to me so that I can encode them manually using handbrake software. Or is there's such tool that can actually find L4.0 or lower, then automatically re-encode for me?

Right-clicking on a file then "Media Info" to check every file would take me forever
Handbrake is no problem, take 5-10 mins per job - I can queue them up and leave it overnight.

Reason for this, appears that my Nvidia Sheild TV does not work well with L3.1? - Video stuttering, so I had to reencode into L4.1 and it works perfectly.

Thanks

MediaInfo has a CLI command line version that should be able to be called repeatedly in a batch file .

I did checked that out, i'm completely n00bs in creating .bat file
I'm hoping for some help on that but a simple small util would come in handy tho
Thanks

You can do this with FFmpeg. Put the following in a batch file with paths appropriate to your file locations.

@echo off
for %%M in (c:\path\to\*.mkv) do (
    c:\path\to\ffprobe.exe -v quiet -select_streams v -show_streams "%%M" 1>probe.txt
    for /f "delims== tokens=1,2" %%P in (probe.txt) do if %%P==level if %%Q lss 41 ffmpeg -y -i %%M -crf 20 -level 41 -c:a copy "%%~nM_new.mkv"
)

Ok, i'll give that a try tomorrow .. thanks
