Output from `transcode-video --help`

gistfile1.txt

Transcode video file or disc image directory into format and size similar to
popular online downloads. Works best with Blu-ray or DVD rip.

Automatically determines target video bitrate, number of audio tracks, etc.
WITHOUT ANY command line options.

Usage: transcode-video [OPTION]... [FILE|DIRECTORY]...

Input options:
    --scan          list title(s) and tracks in video media and exit
    --title INDEX   select indexed title in video media
                      (default: main feature or first listed)
    --chapters CHAPTER[-CHAPTER]
                    select chapters, single or range (default: all)

Output options:
-o, --output FILENAME|DIRECTORY
                    set output path and filename, or just path
                      (default: input filename with output format extension
                        in current working directory)
    --mp4           output MP4 instead of Matroska `.mkv` format
    --m4v             "     "  with `.m4v` extension instead of `.mp4`
    --chapter-names FILENAME
                    import chapter names from `.csv` text file
                      (in NUMBER,NAME format, e.g. "1,Intro")
    --no-log        don't write log file
    --dry-run       don't transcode, just show `HandBrakeCLI` command and exit

Quality options:
    --big           raise default limits for both video and AC-3 audio bitrates
                      (always increases output size)
    --quick         trade some precision for 45-50% increase in encoding speed
                      (more than 15% speedier than x264 encoder "fast" preset)
                      (avoids quality loss of "faster" and "veryfast" presets)
    --preset veryfast|faster|fast|slow|slower|veryslow
                    apply x264 encoder preset

Video options:
    --crop T:B:L:R  set video crop values (default: 0:0:0:0)
                      (use `--crop detect` for optimal crop values)

    --720p          fit video within 1280x720 pixel bounds
    --max-width WIDTH, --max-height HEIGHT
                    fit video within horizontal and/or vertical pixel bounds
    --pixel-aspect X:Y
                    set pixel aspect ratio (default: 1:1)
                      (e.g.: make X larger than Y to stretch horizontally)
    --force-rate FPS
                    force constant video frame rate
                      (`23.976` applied automatically for some inputs)

                    apply `HandBrakeCLI` video filter with optional settings
                      (`deinterlace` applied automatically for some inputs)
