Video Encoding:

• Supports encoding in any format supported by FFmpeg.
• Tested Format: MKV
  Note: This is the only format I’ve tested; support for other formats is not guaranteed.

Video Codecs:

• AV1
• H264 NVENC (utilizes Nvidia GPUs)
• HEVC NVENC (utilizes Nvidia GPUs)
• x264
• x265
• VP9

Audio Codecs:

• Supports all audio codecs available in FFmpeg.
• Audio tracks can be:
  • Copied.
  • Encoded in MP3 or AAC, both with variable bitrate.
  • Normalized using EBU R128 with FFmpeg’s internal loudnorm function, then encoded in MP3 or AAC, both with variable bitrate.
  • Extracted as separate audio files.

Subtitles:

• All subtitle tracks are copied without encoding.

CRF (Constant Rate Factor):

• The script supports CRF with FFmpeg for video encoding.
• CRF controls the quality and file size.
• Lower CRF values improve quality but increase file size.
• Higher CRF values reduce file size but may decrease quality.

Additional Features:

• Divide a single file into multiple smaller files: the script can split a large file into smaller segments for easier handling.
• Merge multiple segments into a single file: it can also combine these smaller files back into a single, cohesive file.
• Encode all files in a directory with a single command: the script supports batch processing of files in a directory for encoding.
• Merge all the files inside the directory into a single file.
• Adjust the aspect ratio: modify the aspect ratio of the video to fit specific requirements.

Usage:

• Copy the script to your path and run esegui from the command prompt to display all necessary information.
• For creating EDL files with MPlayer and mpv, refer to the detailed instructions in the README file.
