Transcoder

Work in progress

Cross-platform FFmpeg transcoder to reduce file size while trying to keep video quality (3.1 GB ~> 740 MB). It would transcode up to two videos in parallel using NVIDIA hardware acceleration. There are three options to choose from:

• Convert Video to HEVC/x265 mkv.
• Convert video to x264 mkv.
• Convert video from x265 10 Bit to x265 8 Bit.

Installation

Download the pre-compiled latest Release.

The files are ready to run. FFMPEG MUST BE INSTALLED AND IN PATH.

Usage

• Run 'transcoder' in a terminal
• Enter the path of the video/s when asked.
• Select one of the options to convert.
