Re: LINUX - ffmpeg - 4K HDR HEVC X265 - Plex

A few weeks on and I have some tweaks to the script, which now includes 'max-cll' variables. A tweak to the readhdrvalues function, which strips out anything after the / in the ffprobe output... function readhdrvalues () { echo "Reading HDR values..." echo $1 ffprobe -loglevel quiet -read...

Re: Feature Request: --maxlength = Maximium Length of title

Is there any word on this? Typical use case, a DVD with 7 episodes... there are 8 tracks on the disc - 1 track with all of the episodes together and then the 7 individual episodes. So, my usual command line will save 8 titles, wearing the precious drive out longer... $ makemkvcon mkv disc:0 all /tmp...

Re: LINUX - ffmpeg - 4K HDR HEVC X265 - Plex

Hi all, This seems like the best thread to ask, what would be the command line for ffmpeg to keep the 4k video untouched, take the first of multiple audio files but convert that hopefully lossless from dts to ac3 or any other lossless codec (any advice on a codec appreciated) Thabks Wow, your ears ...

Sorry if this sounds obvious :lol:

But if I run that handy script, does it compress a 4k hdr mkv file? With acceptable quality?
...and don't forget that 8GB size includes an extra audio track for MY tastes, so if you only wanted 1 audio track then that size would come down!

Yes.

A typical UHD REMUX goes down from 40GB to about 8GB.

A few weeks on and I have some tweaks to the script, which now includes 'max-cll' variables. I will create a github at some point, but for now, here are the important parts... # set main variables TITLE="Movie Name (YEAR)" INPUT="/home/user/${TITLE} UHD.mkv" OUTPUT="/home/us...

Re: LINUX - ffmpeg - 4K HDR HEVC X265 - Plex

I was hoping to extract these figures and put them straight into ffmpeg. OK, here is a quick BASH script to do what you want, just outputting 1 of the variables as a test... ffprobe -loglevel quiet -read_intervals "%+#2" -show_entries side_data "input.mkv" | grep -A 10 'side_dat...

e.g. using your example above, the 'master-display' setting would be... master-display='G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(1,10000000)' I ran that ffmpeg command to analyse my MKV of a UHD... $ ffprobe -read_intervals "%+#2" -show_frames -show_entries side_data "...

Found this in another website which may be of some help: ffprobe -read_intervals "%+#2" -show_frames -show_entries side_data "video.mkv" Also is it possible to add auto crop to your script? Interesting, what does that do? Auto crop... yes. Here is a link to my Wiki which has a p...

Hi djtimyd, Thanks for your detailed reply and ffmpeg tweaks! I shall invest in a new UHD 4K Blu-ray movie soon (I only have 2 right now... Blade Runner 2049 and Black Panther) and try out your settings. I am particularly interested in the keyframes settings which will make a nice difference. Also, ...

Re: LINUX - ffmpeg - 4K HDR HEVC X265 - Plex

I'd be curious to see if you have made any changes to this script? I ran it as you posted (with very minor tweaks) and the output was acceptable. Curious if you have made changes to make it more efficient or streamlined or better in some way? Hello there! No, I haven’t changed that command because ...
