optimising library for fast web playback with qtfaststart

[josephdouce 3]

I have written a small python script to optimise files for fast web playback as well as transcoding if you require.

 

https://github.com/josephdouce/ffmpeg-library-optimizer/blob/master/README.md

 

with the -o flag it recursively searches the current directory and takes any files that are already h264 and aac transcoded and moves the moov atom to the start of the file for fast web playback and changes the container to mp4 if it isn't already. 

 

-t transcodes all to mp4 with h264/aac if they are not already (this takes a LONG time) and uses preset "veryfast" you can edit this on line 142

 

-l lists the files that will be processed

-d lists files with codec data 

 

you can use -l to see which files will be processed before using -o or -t 

 

I am aware that there is already the sickbeard_mp4_automator but it is way too long winded for my requirements
