Could somebody post a working reccmds.conf
I want to convert a .ts recording to .avi (xvid)
so I have added a line to reccmds.conf like this:
Convert to AVI : ffmpeg -r 29.97 -croptop 58 -cropbottom 62 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 640x272 -aspect 2.35 -maxrate 1800k -b 1500k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2 -async 1 -vsync 0 $1 $1.avi
But it doesn't work. I have RTFM and google'd but I am no wiser as to the correct syntax
Thanks in advance for any help with this issue
You probably don't want to force aspect ratio unless you don't care about possibly breaking it. Also, forcing a maxbitrate and then using quantizer is totally pointless. Stick with just a max quantizer only, no minimum and no bitrate limits. Better yet, since that command line is horrible I'd suggest you just search for a script that can generate a good command line for you. When it comes to encoding audio/video, one size certainly does not fit all....but that's a conversation for a different thread.
