A simple finalize script for Jitsi Meet Recordings, that uses FFMPEG to resize and convert to h265

jitsi-finalize.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# a script to process Jitsi Meet recordings (JIBRI) and convert to a lower definition while converting
# to a more optimal video format - a few tunables are listed below
#
## encoding quality (lower == better)
# 23 is about 1.5x aka 45 FPS average on my hardware (6 core 12 thread Xeon 2.6GHz)
QENC=23
#scaling (find the default for your JIBRI, mine is 1080p)
VSCALE_720P="-vf scale=720:-1"
VSCALE_480P="-vf scale=480:-1"
VSCALE=$VSCALE_720P

# note destination is within the container - so you should mount (bind mount) something to it
# or configure mail/dropbox/s3 or similar to move the completed recordings out of the way
# this destination moves the file to 'recordings' directory
