usage() {
cat <<EOF
Transcode video file or disc image directory into format and size similar to
popular online downloads. Works best with Blu-ray or DVD rip.
Automatically determines target video bitrate, number of audio tracks, etc.
WITHOUT ANY command line options.
Usage: $program [OPTION]... [FILE|DIRECTORY]
Input options:
--title NUMBER select numbered title in video media (default: 1)
(\`0\` to scan media, list title numbers and exit)
--chapters NUMBER[-NUMBER]
select chapters, single or range (default: all)
--start-at,--stop-at UNIT:VALUE
start or stop at \`frame\`, \`duration\` or \`pts\`
(\`duration\` in seconds, \`pts\` on 90 kHz clock)
Output options:
-o, --output FILENAME|DIRECTORY
set output path and filename, or just path
(default: input filename with output format extension
in current working directory)
--mkv output Matroska format instead of MP4
--m4v output MP4 with \`.m4v\` extension instead of \`.mp4\`
Quality options:
--big raise default limits for both video and AC-3 audio bitrates
(always increases output size)
--fast, --faster, --veryfast
use x264 encoder preset to trade precision for speed
--slow, --slower, --veryslow
use x264 encoder preset to trade speed for compression
Video options:
--crop T:B:L:R set video crop values (default: 0:0:0:0)
(use \`--crop detect\` to invoke \`detect-crop.sh\`)
(use \`--crop auto\` for \`HandBrakeCLI\` behavior)
--480p constrain video to fit within 854x480 pixel bounds
(not perfect 16:9 bounds and not for DVD input)
--720p constrain video to fit within 1280x720 pixel bounds
--1080p " " " " " 1920x1080 " "
--2160p " " " " " 3840x2160 " "
--width WIDTH change pixel aspect ratio with custom width
--height HEIGHT " " " " " " height
--rate FPS[,limited]
set video frame rate with optional peak-limited flag
(default: based on input)
Audio options:
--audio TRACK[,NAME]
select main audio track (default: 1)
with optional name
--single don't create secondary main audio track
--add-audio [double,]TRACK[,NAME]
add audio track in AAC format
with optional "double" flag to include the track again
in multi-channel format if available
with optional name
(can be used multiple times)
--add-all-audio single|double
add all other audio tracks in single AAC format
or double AAC+multi-channel format, if avaiable
(doesn't apply to main audio track)
(not compatible with \`--add-audio\` option)
--allow-ac3 allow multi-channel AC-3 format in additional audio tracks
--allow-dts allow multi-channel DTS formats in all audio tracks
(also allows AC-3 format in additional audio tracks)
--no-surround don't output multi-channel formats in any audio track
--ac3 BITRATE set AC-3 audio bitrate to 384|448|640 kbps (default: 384)
--pass-ac3 BITRATE
set passthru AC-3 audio <= 384|448|640 kbps (default: 448)
(only applies to multi-channel)
--copy-ac3 always passthru AC-3 audio in main track
(including mono and stero, regardless of bitrate)
--copy-all-ac3 always passthru AC-3 audio in all tracks
(including mono and stero, regardless of bitrate)
--copy-audio-names
passthru any original audio track names
(unless a name is specified with another option)
Subtitle options:
--burn TRACK burn subtitle track (default: first forced track, if any)
--no-auto-burn don't automatically burn first forced subtitle
--add-subtitle [forced,]TRACK
add subtitle track with optional forced playback flag
(can be used multiple times)
--add-all-subtitles
add all other subtitles
(doesn't apply to burned subtitle track)
(not compatible with \`--add-subtitle\` option)
--find-forced burn|add
scan for forced subtitle in same language as main audio
and, if found, burn into video or add as forced track
(disables some other subtitle behaviors and options)
--burn-srt [ENCODING,][OFFSET,]FILENAME
burn subtitle track from SubRip-format \`.srt\` text file
with optional character set encoding (default: latin1)
with optional +/- offset in milliseconds (default: 0)
(values before filename can appear in any order)
--add-srt [ENCODING,][OFFSET,][LANGUAGE,][forced,]FILENAME
add subtitle track from SubRip-format \`.srt\` text file
with optional character set encoding (default: latin1)
with optional +/- offset in milliseconds (default: 0)
with optional ISO 639-2 language code (default: und)
with optional forced playback flag
(values before filename can appear in any order)
(can be used multiple times)
Advanced options:
--preset NAME use x264 ...|fast|medium|slow|... preset (default: medium)
(refer to \`HandBrakeCLI --help\` for complete list)
--tune NAME use x264 film|animation|grain|... tune
(refer to \`HandBrakeCLI --help\` for complete list)
--max BITRATE set maximum video bitrate (default: based on input)
(can be exceeded to maintain video quality)
--buffer SIZE set video buffer size (default: 50% of maximum bitrate)
--add-encopts OPTION=VALUE[:OPTION=VALUE...]
specify additional x264 encoder options
--crf FACTOR set constant rate factor (default: 16)
--crf-max FACTOR
set maximum constant rate factor (default: 25)
(use \`--crf-max none\` to disable)
--filter NAME[=SETTINGS]
apply \`HandBrakeCLI\` video filter with optional settings
(default: \`deinterlace\` for some 29.97 fps input)
(refer to \`HandBrakeCLI --help\` for more information)
(can be used multiple times)
Passthru options:
--angle, --normalize-mix, --drc, --gain,
--no-opencl, --optimize, --use-opencl, --use-hwd
all passed through to \`HandBrakeCLI\` unchanged
(refer to \`HandBrakeCLI --help\` for more information)
Other options:
--chapter-names FILENAME
import chapter names from \`.csv\` text file
(in NUMBER,NAME format, e.g. "1,Intro")
--no-log don't write log file
--debug output diagnostic information to \`stderr\` and exit
(with \`HandBrakeCLI\` command line sent to \`stdout\`)
-h, --help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Requires \`HandBrakeCLI\` executable in \$PATH.
Requires \`detect-crop.sh\` script in \$PATH when using \`--crop detect\`.
May require \`mkvmerge\` executable in \$PATH when using \`--find-forced add\`.
May require \`mp4track\` and \`mkvpropedit\` executables in \$PATH for some options.
Output and log file are written to current working directory.

Don,

First off, I just want to thank you again for all the hard work that went into this script. The ability to transcode my own media at the quality / space savings that I choose is highly addictive. I've always held off on buying BluRays because I was unsure of the transcoding process but now I've gone from 0 BluRays on February 1st to 70+ as of today.


As far as the multitrack audio request goes, it has dropped significantly on my want list for this script. The thinking behind my original request was to create a "BluRay like" experience inside of Plex; offering special features and the like. After seeing that the current version of Plex is not setup to handle that well (I created a library section "Movie Extras" and set the type to TV Shows and was creating a custom show for each season then labeling the extra features manually inside Plex, not pretty but it worked), I decided to just pull the trigger on a BluRay player. It's a much simpler solution especially considering how often I want to watch all the special features of a movie (typically only once). Even just the director commentary (which I do love listening to) would be cumbersome inside of Plex because they currently only label audio tracks with the language, codec, and number of channels.


Question about split movies:

I just picked up the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on BluRay and the movies come split across two discs. What is the best way of joining them in conjunction with your script?

  1. Rip them, join the uncompressed MKVs with MKVtools or mkvmerge then transcode.
  2. Rip them, transcode them, then join with MP4Joiner or something similar.

I'm leaning towards option one but would love your input on the matter.


Thanks again for such a good script. I love looking at now playing on Plex and seeing "No Transcode" or "Direct Stream" on all the movies I rip myself.

I talked to Ryan (@d4rk22) about his question on Twitter (who nicely tapped me there) but for everyone else who's reading along...

The best way to deal with split movies, like "The Lord of the Rings," is to leave them as two files and and let Plex and/or XBMC handle joining them together virtually in their UI presentation. All you have to do is name multi-part movies correctly. Here's how I name my Extended Edition files:

The Lord of the Rings_ The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).part1.mkv
The Lord of the Rings_ The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).part2.mkv

The Lord of the Rings_ The Two Towers (2002).part1.mkv
The Lord of the Rings_ The Two Towers (2002).part2.mkv

The Lord of the Rings_ The Return of the King (2003).part1.mkv
The Lord of the Rings_ The Return of the King (2003).part2.mkv

The key is using the ".partX" suffix right before the file extension. There are actually several legal forms of the suffix (e.g. "cdX," "discX," etc.) but you have to careful to use one that works for most media center software.

Documentation about this for Plex can be found here:

I feel a bit stupid but the script constantly gives me:

ERROR: Invalid audio codec: 0x100

Unsure how to proceed on Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed faac as I assumed it was the audio coded library that was missing but that helped with nothing. I have also tried to modify the code from 'ca_aac' to 'faac' but that also seems to change nothing. Would really appreciate some help!

Oh @gugahoi, same issue here.

Sorry, I missed your comments. Yeah, the ca_aaccodec is not available on non-OS X platforms. But faac should work. I don't run Linux anymore so this is difficult for me to debug. Stay tuned...

Wow this is a great script for quality/size perfection. Now my question is how would I set this up to do a batch encode from a folder of files? I think this would make a great set of online backups for my raw 5DMKII footage from events!

Here's a shorter version of the shell script I use to do all my transcoding:

#!/bin/bash

readonly queue="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)/queue.txt"

input="$(sed -n 1p "$queue")"

while [ "$input" ]; do
    sed -i '' 1d "$queue" || exit 1
    transcode-video.sh "$input"
    input="$(sed -n 1p "$queue")"
done

As you can see, it's designed to read a text file named queue.txt, located in the same directory as the script, for a list of pathnames to transcode. Once it has the pathname, it simply deletes it from the text file.

And if it encounters a blank line in the text file, it just stops.

Which means you can edit the file while you're transcoding to change the order, add new items, or stop after a certain file is complete.

Version 3.1 of the script should have some hope of running on Linux now. Let me know if you're still having problems.

There seem to be a problem with HandBrakeCLI in Ubuntu 14.04

Version 3.7 should fix some problems non-OS X users were having with AC-3 pass-thru audio. Really stupid bug on my part.

Hi, would it be possible to use the "-N" option of HandBrakeCLI instead of "--subtitle" ?
This would be easier because you wouldn't first have to search for the number of the subtitle but instead you can simply specify your language?

From the CLIGuide:

-N, --native-language Specifiy your language preference. When the first
audio track does not match your native language then
select the first subtitle that does. When used in
conjunction with --native-dub the audio track is
changed in preference to subtitles. Provide the
language's iso639-2 code (fre, eng, spa, dut, et cetera)

Hey @donmelton... thanks for making this, it's extremely useful.

One question — with the default settings, I'm seeing a lot of these warnings:

x264 [warning]: VBV underflow

Any idea if this is something I should worry about? Tried googling it, which just confused me... seems like an ffmpeg thing? I tried messing with the --max and --vbv-bufsize options, but wasn't able to find a setting that got rid of the errors.

Hi,

I just installed this script and handbrakecli and I get the error "transcode-video.sh: can't determine HandBrakeCLI version" and just dumps me back to the prompt. I have HandBrake svn7212 (2015052001) - Darwin x86_64, and I have it stored in /usr/local/bin which is in the $path as suggested. Any assistance is appreciated.

The --output option to specify where to save the compressed file doesn't seem to be working. No matter what I use, it names the file with the basename.mp4 in the directory that the script is called from.

I'm trying to script it by placing the output in the same folder as the input. A lot of my files have the same name in different directories.

@donmelton I'm having the same problem as @69dragons.

I'm running on Linux Debian jessie with HandBrakeCLI rev0 (2014100499) - Linux x86_64 from package handbrake-cli 0.9.9+svn6422+dfsg1-2.

It looks like the regexes you're using for $release_version don't match the output from the version I have.

$ HandBrakeCLI --preset-list 2>&1 | head -n1

After release of HandBrake version 1, "can't determine HandBrakeCLI version" appears.
