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?

 

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.

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.
