Notes:
This script is not aimed at professional users. It's aimed at people who want
to create lightweight copies of their videos to save disk space for archival
purposes, or to create copies for streaming from their own servers.
Video codec hints:
AV1/opus works well with 2016+ iPad models up to 1080p with VLC, and most
Android TV models. It also plays great in Firefox and Chrome in .webm containers,
including HDR support. Safari support is not there yet in 2023. Use tiles if you
experience stuttering. Generally that only happens with HDR10 content at >768p
libsvtav1 defaults to a 30-frame GOP. That allows 1s seeking in streaming media
but it's pretty inefficient for local files where a 5-10s seek is fine. So for
much better compression use -gop=[150..300] for 30fps content etc.
When encoding small files using 2 passes, libsvtav1 seems not to write a pass 1
log for small input files. libaom-av1 works fine for these small files.
Video filter hints:
Order of filtering steps is important. Deblocking relies on block structure,
so scaling or deinterlacing before deblocking will prevent deblocking from
working properly. Deinterlacing works best with the original field data, so
it should come before scaling. So deblocking, then deinterlacing, scaling,
decimation, then any other filters.
An exception is interlaced content in a progressive bitstream. This is called
combing - NOT interlacing. In this case use a de-combing filter before all other
filters. Sometimes the combing will be scaled and de-combing will cause jello
artefacts. Try to find an un-scaled source as the scaling damage most likely
can't be undone.
Scaling should happen before decimation because the decimation filter makes
decisions based on features of potential output frames, and because there's no
point to scaling frames that won't be output.
Tonemapping (conversion to SDR) optimises work done in later steps so it's often
advantageous to do before other filters for performance reasons. Debanding,
unsharp mask, and denoising will all behave differently when applied before
tonemapping and scaling. Quality may be higher (and slower) but their relative
strength and the selectiveness of their effects will vary. For example debanding
loses much less detail when used ahead of tonemapping.
Audio hints:
If you want to preserve 5.1 / 7.1 audio quality, don't supply an audio codec.
Changing the codec will always lower quality. If you must change the codec and
you want better than stereo (the default) then you must supply the desired
channel layout, ie "-ac libopus -5.1 -ab 360k" otherwise stereo is the default.
Batch encoding hints:
When processing batches the glob must be quoted to avoid shell expansion. For
example, encode all mp4 and mkv files by using -batch '*.{mp4,mkv}'. The
output files will be written to the same folder as the source files. If you
want to write the processed output to a different folder ie 'ipad/' then try
$ cd ipad; $APP -batch "../*.{mp4,mkv}" -here [options...]
Parallel encoding hints:
With the -no-ow flag it's possible to run a batch in parallel to use more
cores for codecs that don't scale well to the available cores. Run the batch
in multiple separate shells. They will each skip over each other's work.
libsvtav1 scales well to 8 cores, so run the batch 4x in parallel for 32 cores
libaom-av1 is most efficient with threading disabled, using 2 cores, unless
you use 2/4 tiles in which case it scales well to 4/6 cores, but that hurts
bd-rate for resolutions lower than 4k.

CONTRIBUTING:
You can contribute in various ways. You can provide bug reports, make
suggestions for improvements, contribute code, donate to FFMPEG, you can share
this script with other users, and you can help others use it better, or you can
just [like] the gist so I get a measure of the value of supporting it.
I accept bug reports in story form. Word your report like so:
Hi. I wanted to <INSERT YOUR OBJECTIVES>, so I tried:
$APP [options]
I expected <INSERT YOUR EXPECTED RESULT>, but instead I got
<INSERT YOUR ACTUAL RESULT>.
Here's what I see: <INSERT PASTE / SCREENSHOT>.
Post your bug report as a comment here:
$APP: $GIST
Don't forget to [like] if you find this helpful.
If you find there's features you often access via -ff="...", consider leaving a
comment with the options you're passing. If they're handy and/or popular
I will add them to the script so others may enjoy easy access to them.
I accept suggestions in a similar form to bug reports. Tell me a story about
what you're trying to achieve, in what way you feel you're unable to get there,
and what you feel is reasonable for me to do to help you get what you need.
I accept patches if they follow the design rules, don't break existing usage,
and either fix a bug or add a feature that's in demand.
Project design rules and the thought processes behind them.
All state variable and their defaults are in the "initial state" section. The
state variables are logically grouped. Locality of reference saves a lot of
work when troubleshooting and re-familiarising oneself, so you'll see it
throughout this code.
The license, changelog, and help functions are toward the top of the script so
that new users reading the source will find them quickly.
The console output and state construction functions are close to the option
parser which uses them heavily, saving the developer some scrolling.
For the most part, support functions are arranged in the same order they appear
in the option parser. The options are in turn ordered in the parser according
to where they've been organized in the help command.
The option parser sets state variables which provide direction to the code
which constructs the ffmpeg commandline. This allows folding options so that
ie $APP -10 args... -8 doesn't create needless work for ffmpeg. It also
makes the generated commands consistent, which makes them easier to read and
understand.
Coding style:
Write elegant code.
Elegant is defined as espressive, minimal, reusable, conventional.
Expressive means it does a lot and makes sense doing it.
Minimal means redundancies have been avoided.
Reusable means it's crafted with the future in mind.
Conventional means it leverages well-understood patterns.
Use 4 space indents, 96-char lines, \$(foo), [[ ]], (()).
Use local for local variables, and ';' after statements.
Use semantic values and identifiers where possible.
Don't use eval where declare or printf -v will do.
Use a single line for conditionals where it's expressive:
[[ \$foo = "bar" ]] && { success; say "yay!"; } || fatal "Oh no!";
...is more semantic than an if then else block, and less scrolling.
Send patches to my email with subject "$APP patch re: <context>" and I will
respond within 7 days.
Thanks in advance!
