Video is flipped after trim with VLC

[cholla]

Try this ffmpeg code.
The Rotation 180° is no longer in MediaInfo.
The video plays upside down.
So I do not know how this will work when uploaded to YouTube.

ffmpeg  -display_vflip -display_hflip -display_rotation 180 -i "input.mp4" -c copy "output.mp4"

VLC... H-265...

There's definitely something very wrong with VLC's h.265 encoder. It doesn't work properly with any source, at any settings. Both 32 bit and 64 bit. The h.264 encoder works fine though.

@twinax, if you can't get AVIDemux to work, you can recode it with Handbrake. It's quite straightforward for this.

For your video for YT, set it up like this:

Setup:

Note: I have chosen 30,000kbps as a reasonable bitrate for YT. If you're not happy with the YT quality, you can increase it. The video you posted for us has a BR of 108,000 but IMO that doesn't need to be that high for YT. Do some experimenting to find a good compromise between quality and upload time.

The beauty of Handbrake is that you can easily do batch conversions.

There is no HEVC setting in VLC.There is a H-265.

HEVC is H265, like AVC is H264.

@ Alwyn
I will look at your Handbrake guide but I bet it still crashes when use it.
I knew about the HEVC & AVC being the same as h265 & h264 respectively.
I was trying to duplicate twinax's .mp4

"64, 64, 64 bit. Oh how I wish for 64 bit..."

It will be a while before I replace my main computer 32-bit OS with a 64-bit OS.
I will be going to a 64-bit OS when I do.
Most of the time I can do what I need with a 32-bit OS.
I already have two 64-bit OS's on two different computers.
I just can't cool them to my liking for encoding.
For example right now just using the forum my main computer temp is 87° F,
If I was encoding it might get to 120° F.
Where my laptop would be 140 to 150° F.
I have tested the laptop & I do not believe those temps are good for it.

If you are on Windows 10/11, possible this can help?
How to cool down CPU while encoding with GPU

If you want to reduce the temperature you can also try to adjust the Turbo boost settings to less aggressive or even turn it off.
Those settings are normally hidden in the Windows power scheme settings but you can enable them.
Reddit: Important Update To PROPERLY DISABLE Boosting
Ctrl.blog: Disable processor boost mode to prolong your battery life

It is mainly referred to Laptops to prevent overheating/fan noise but it works just as well for desktops.
First try to adjust the Turbo boost mode to "efficient enabled" or "efficient aggressive" and see if this helps?

For Windows 7 you can use other methods:

@ The_Doman,
I tried the suggestions in the Geeks3D link for Windows 7.
I tried an encode with about the same results as before.
I will leave the "Plugged in maximum processor state at 99%".
I do not see any problems that might cause.
The Registry tweak did not add the line "Processor performance boost mode" to the Advanced Power settings in Windows 7.
There is no BIOS switch for my laptop.
The temps when encoding were CPU core@1 at 135°F core2 at 153° F.
Online it says those are within acceptable range but I disagree.

Yes, the extra Processor performance boost mode options are only available on Windows (8?) 10+
But if you want to reduce the max CPU speed further you can set the max CPU % lower.
It depends on how many boost/frequency states your CPU has at which % it switches to a lower maximum.
You can easily test the effect of different settings with a H/W monitoring tool.
We're used only to Celcius here , but those temps not seem that worrying to me really?

Here is a converter for Farenheit to Celcius .
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=Farenheight+to+Celcius
153° F = 67° C .
For a test see how long you can hold a piece of metal heated to 67° C .
I would find it too hot to hold or touch for very long.
So IMO too hot for me to touch is too hot for a laptop or other PC.
My desktop just looking at this website is 88° F or 31° C.
Doing a ffmpeg encode Audio & video 94° F or 34.44° C .
