i didn't get the time to make some benchmarks, but as i said above it's at the speed of what FFmpeg can do.

People asked me to use it so i decide to share this work for everyone. So nothing faster than FFmpeg simply a much usefull usage of this great tool that i made for my self. It's more a research job i did, to get the most of every codecs related to their command.Ībout Handbrake, they shared the same library, if you only use H.264/H.265 conversion use the one you prefer, but Shutter get some usefull codecs especially for editing, and it's also a good toolbox.

Using FFmpeg is really powerfull and you get control of everything available, but as you said writing scripts for everything can be very long.Īlso the main advantage from Shutter, it used a lot FFprobe to get all metadata needed for conversion (fps, timecode, fields, audio channels, Apple metadata and everything possible). thanks for posting the main keep me informed and feel free to ask me anything about for a quick explanation :.

I can finally get rid of my text files with ffmpeg commands for different conversions. Great program Paul, thank you for sharing. For example: DNxHR HQ is 8-bit, but HQX is 10-bit with the same bitrate/file-size.

Sometimes is hard to tell which codec preset is really putting out 10-bit files, so I will suggest using MediaInfo to identify the correct presets if you need 10-bit. But to be fair, most conversion programs behave the same.ĪV1 took the longest by far, and there were glitches in the resulting file (playback with VLC and MPV, glitch happened in the same position). For example: With XAVC the progress bar reached 100% but the elapsed time kept going because the conversion was not done, until a minute+ later. The remaining time and elapsed time are rarely accurate. I was surprised that even H.265 didn't take long on my old system.Ī couple of things: in DNxHD for example, NTSC presets appear to be missing, and only PAL (25, 50fps) are available judging by the the codec specifications Ĥ5, 145, 220, and 220x presets are missing for example (1080p30 and 720p60). I converted an XAVC-S file to a variety of formats: ProRes, DNxHD, DNxHR, XAVC, H.265, AV1, AVC-Intra 100x XDCAM, etc and it all worked perfectly.
