ffmpeg-wrapper

python3 ffmpeg wrapper intended for personal use.

TODO

• Think
• Base script
• Ask user the codec, preset and crf.
• Check input files existance and read permission.
• Ask user output directory.
• Create the output directory if it doesn't exists (error if cannot write).
• Check if output files already exists, and ask the user to overwrite or not (check write permission).
• Normalize input files and output directory path.
• Mantain sub-directory tree of the output files.
• Execute ffmpeg and check return code, if failed save failed filenames and logs and report it later.
• Add --use-defaults argument.
• Check if ffmpeg is installed.
• Log everything.
• Comment everything.

Optional TODO

• Colors.
• Time how much time each file has taken.
• Check if output file is smaller, and if it is by how much.
• Makefile to install the script.
• Telegram notification when rendering has been finished.
• Option to automatically delete files smaller than the original.
• Option to automatically replace original files.

BUGS

• f-strings containing strings before python version 12 are problematic.
• './' output directory will be normalized to '', giving an error.
• only one audio track is kept in the output file
