  • -i input.mp4: Specifies the input video file.
  • -vf "fps=24": Sets the output frame rate to 24 frames per second.
  • -c:v libx264: Specifies the video codec as H.264, which is widely supported by TVs.
  • -crf 23: Sets the Constant Rate Factor (CRF) for video quality. Lower values result in higher quality but larger file sizes. A value of around 23 provides a good balance between quality and file size.
  • -maxrate 2M -bufsize 2M: Sets the maximum bitrate and buffer size to 2 Mbps, ensuring compatibility with weaker devices.
  • -c:a aac -b:a 192k: Specifies the audio codec as AAC with a bitrate of 192 kbps.
  • output.mp4: Specifies the output file name.
