batch ffmpeg

[arrbee99 1704]

Don't know if this is allowed in an Emby forum, but seeing as you guys seem to use and like ffmpeg quite a bit -

 

Am trying to take 50fps mp4 and turn it into 25fps mp4. This seems to work ... ffmpeg -i name.mp4 -r 25 name_25.mp4

 

Does anyone know how to make a Windows bat file that would do that for a bunch of mp4 files in a folder, so that the are all changed to 25fps and with a modified name so that the originals are kept.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Edit: I browsed around on Google and tried a few suggestions but they didn't work.

Just save into a bat file and run it - its not recursive so only looks in local dir

 

change the path to your ffmpeg

REM Testing for loop
FOR %%m in (*.mp4) do (
REM ReMux MP4 to 25 fps
F:\Video\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i "%%m" -r 25 "%%~nm_25.mp4"
echo ====================================================
)

ps - it uses the original filename it finds and adds a "_25"

Is it interlaced content?

Thanks very much. Shall give it a go.

Not sure of the best way to tell. Its not in Emby yet. Looking at the scrolling titles at the end of a few of them it appears not.

 

If it is interlaced would that give a worse / bad / terrible result ?

If it's interlaced then you could probably get the same result using the server's convert media feature.

Never thought of that. Interesting. Thanks.

Tried PenkethBoys's bat file and works great. Thank you. Bit surprised the conversions are a quarter of the size and not half. I realise ffmpeg isn't literally removing alternate frames but still surprised. Output seems fine though after a quick look.
