ork-ffmpeg v2.8.0

Convert your media files quickly with FFmpeg library.

The main idea is to limit the command line switches passed to ffmpeg.exe while keeping full control of the conversion process. Use Windows "Send To" menu or "Drag & Drop" features to quickly convert your media. Use convert.bat tool to batch proccess multiple media files from different locations at once.

Installation

Environment variables:

Customize default config values by declaring user config file environment variable ORKAN_FFMPEG_USER_CONFIG Example: ORKAN_FFMPEG_USER_CONFIG=path\to\usr\config.bat

From this file you can:

• customize ffmpeg binaries location: set FFMPEG_HOME=path\to\ffmpeg-static
• change log file location: set LOG_FILE=path\to\file.log
• extend Autoloader locations: set APP_TOOLS_PATH=path\to\user\tools (same format as Windows %PATH%)
• this way you can basically change every option from default src\_config.bat

Autoloader:

The autoload.bat is the main entry point for any tool located on %APP_TOOLS_PATH%. Usage: autoload.bat <tool_*.bat> [arg1 ... arg8] Check autoload.bat header section for more info.

Send To:

1. Create shortcut in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
   • to load any tool with autoloader use: autoload.bat tool_mp4.bat ...args
   • to load specific tool use absolute path: D:\...\src\tool_mp4.bat ...args
2. Right click on your media file, choose: Send To > Convert to mp4

Batch processing:

Proccess multiple files from different locations at once with convert.bat tool. Command: autoload.bat convert.bat files.bat

In files.bat:

@echo off

REM Convert all *.ts to *.mp4 in X:\media\videos
echo ffmpeg_mp4.bat "X:\media\videos\*.ts" 28 24.97

REM Convert all *.avi to *.mp3 in D:\clips
