Change directory for temp files

[banjopotato]

This is a great tool. Thanks.

My machine has a fairly small root partition and when I run dvmkv2mp4 on large files, I get a warning about not having enough space.

How can I change the script to use another partition (say, /home) for the temporary files? I've looked at the script but don't know what to change.

scripts is using space where it was started so just move the original file to place where you have space and run it there.

I did that: moved it to ~/bin. Still using root partition…

it will use space wherever the source video file is not where the script is

I think it must be log files then. I get a ton of these when using it:

[hevc-h265] SEI user message type 3 size error (3 but 1 remain), skipping SEI message

Is there a way to turn off logging or redirect the logs somewhere else?

log is written where the video files are but maybe mp4box is creating some temp files. try adding this switch to mp4box in the script

-tmp (string) specify directory for temporary file creation

That worked! Thanks and thanks for writing this useful script.
