Converts any video to h264 and any audio tracks to AAC, maintins original bitrate. If video is an old xvid/divx that has packed bitstream it will fix that first. Validates the output file (correct codecs and within SECONDS_FUDGE duration or it is rejected) prior to deleting the original. If your ffmpeg doesn't have libfdk compiled in, just chang…
#!/bin/bash
# This will transcode the file given as an argument into h264/aac. It is designed to be used automatically (triggered by inotify or systemd.path)
# so it is very strict on the output. It checks that the output is valid, an that it is the same duration as the input, if it is correct it will
# delete the original.
# If your ffmpeg is not compiled with libfdk_aac, you can change the libfdk_aac to "aac" and use ffmpeg's encoder which is almost as good as libfdk.
# SECONDS_FUDGE is the number of seconds plus or minus that the transcoded video has to be within duration from the original or we reject it
SECONDS_FUDGE=${SECONDS_FUDGE:-15} # 15 seconds is not too bad if we're mainly doing films.
