In (*.mkv) = this delineates the “set” of objects for the for loop to iterate over. %a = DOS parameter placeholder for each file in the folder
#Ffmpeg crf 0 full
To iterate through a folder full of video files and convert them all simply wrap the above command in a DOS FOR loopįor %a in (*.mkv) do ffmpeg -i "%a" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 17 -tune film -c:a copy "converted-%a" Iterating through a folder of video files and converting them as in #1 You can see a list of available tuning options with -tune help, and what settings they apply with x264 -fullhelp.Ĭonverted-movie.mkv = this is the new name of the converted video fileĢ. If you are unsure of what to use or your input does not match any of the available tuning options then omit the -tune option. For example, if your input is animation then use the animation tuning, or if you want to preserve grain in a film then use the grain tuning. tune film = allows you to change settings based upon the specifics of your input. If the output looks good, then try a higher value. Choose the highest CRF value that still provides an acceptable quality. The range is exponential, so increasing the CRF value +6 results in roughly half the bitrate / file size, while -6 leads to roughly twice the bitrate.
17 or 18 is close to visually lossless and should look the same or nearly the same as the input but isn’t technically lossless. A lower value generally leads to higher quality. The range of the CRF scale is 0–51, where 0 is lossless, 23 is the default, and 51 is worst quality possible. The downside is that you can’t tell it to get a specific file size or not go over a specific size or bitrate, which means that this method is not recommended for encoding videos for streaming. By adjusting the so-called quantizer for each frame, it gets the bitrate it needs to keep the requested quality level. This provides maximum compression efficiency with a single pass. This method allows the encoder to attempt to achieve a certain output quality for the whole file when output file size is of less importance. This is the recommended rate control mode for most uses. CRF stipulates the rate control mode to keep the best quality vs.
preset slow = a preset is a collection of options that provides a certain encoding speed to compression ratio Movie.mkv = this is the original source file that you want to convert
#Ffmpeg crf 0 how to
Okay, the common scenarios I’m going to show you how to work with today include:
#Ffmpeg crf 0 windows
so to be clear, this is for the Windows DOS command line only! I make no guarantees this will work on other systems. While I was researching how to do some of these commands, I found a lot of conflicting advice that was for using Linux command lines, etc. I’ve been playing around with FFMpeg to batch convert some video and audio files and want to share some tricks I’ve learned for both FFMpeg and the Windows DOS command line. Today’s post is off topic from cybersecurity.
