Hi

Any chance of adding some option to specify bitrate on audio and video files? Altough not a coder myself ive looked at the code but couldnt find any code related to it like normal ffmpeg scripts, ive been using nemo/nautilus scripts with ffmpeg but i wanted to change all my scripts to actions, can you tell me where in the code can i find the switch for bitrate etc etc...thanks

Hi, I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to work on the action.

I'm planning to refactor it (I've actually done some work on my repo), but it's not complete. I had in mind some kind of local configuration for hard users or a custom entry for commands, to make the conversion process simple, with just a few clicks, without adding complexity.

But again, as soon as I get my life in order, I'll do it.

Hi ThigSchuch

Take your time...thats why i asked where in the code can we change video audio bitrates? for example i edit my videos in resolve but it doesnt accept mp4, i always convert to prores/mov before, with your action script it converted my mp4/x264 file to mov/x264 @10 Mb/s, since i like to try stuff out ....where in your code can i change the code to convert to prores instead of h264 but still maintaining mov as video container?

Thanks

You can find the command in the converters file, in VideoConverter, I'm using the default ffmpeg command that is ffmpeg -i input_file output_file
