ffprocess

A small docker container including ffmpeg to batch convert your media library to a defined h264/aac profile.

-> DockerHub -> Quay.io

Features

• Made for Docker.
• Converts files only if needed.
• You can set a maximum framerate and resolution.
• Truncates all streams that are not video, audio or subtitles.
• Removes not needed additional video streams like embedded images.

Dependencies when used standalone

• FFMpeg with libfdk_aac, libx264 and any codec that you have in your library.

Usage

With docker:

usage: docker run -v /my/media/folder:/data rootlogin/ffprocess
                    [-h] [--quality QUALITY] [--preset PRESET]
                    [--resolution RESOLUTION] [--rate RATE]

Batch convert your media library to H264 and AAC.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --quality QUALITY     crf quality of libx264 (default: 23)
  --preset PRESET       encoding preset for libx264 (default: veryslow)
  --resolution RESOLUTION
                        maximum resolution in height (default: 1080)
  --rate RATE           maximum framerate (default: 25)

Standalone:

If you have ffmpeg and python installed on your computer, you can use this script directly, but I recommend to use the docker image, because there are already all needed codecs inside.

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.

usage: ffprocess.py [-h] [--quality QUALITY] [--preset PRESET]
                    [--resolution RESOLUTION] [--rate RATE]
                    folder

Batch convert your media library to H264 and AAC.

positional arguments:

optional arguments:

  --quality QUALITY     crf quality of libx264 (default: 23)
  --preset PRESET       encoding preset for libx264 (default: veryslow)
  --resolution RESOLUTION
                        maximum resolution in height (default: 1080)
