Batch convert H.265 MKVs to H.264

[Nico Darko]

Hi,
One question, is it possible to batch convert HEVC 265 mkvs to H.264 using ffmpeg? And if so what would be the command line?

Thank you

A batch file like:

md New
for %%F in ("*.mkv") do ( 
    ffmpeg -i "%%~nxF"  -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 20 "New\%%~nF.mkv"
)

will reencode all mkv files in a folder to h.264 (x264) and create new mkv files in a subfolder called New. Pick the preset and the crf value you want.

Perfect, thank you!

Btw, I'm not receiving e-mail notifications anymore, I haven't for months, when my preferences say I should. Don't know if it's just me.
