high profile mp4 convertng

[Cthalpa 11]

I suggest adding profile selection when converting containers into mp4.

Best practice would be to allow high profile settings for better streaming capabilities on low bandwidth consumers - even netflix has h264/high profile as standard these days

 

For future development, AV1 should be incorporated as well as VB9.

Hi, our encodings are already h264 high profile level 4.1.

Hi Luke.

 

A snippet from the conversion log on my server:

 

-loglevel +timing -f matroska -i file:/"OBSCURED".mkv -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -c:v:0 copy -vsync -1 -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -codec:a:0 aac -metadata:s:a:0 language=eng -disposition:a:0 default -ac:a:0 6 -ab:a:0 384000 -y /"OBSCURED".mp4    

 

Am I missing the -profile somehow?

And please keep in mind, I am referring to conversions, not transcoding.

That's stream copying the original video, so there is no video conversion happening there, only a container swap.
