Ahoy Mateys! Finally my PC is back from the shop and I’m ready to begin re-encoding my “loot” to a smaller footprint for Plex. I’ve decided on HEVC (10-Bit)/AAC encoding and want to use ffmpeg but I know ZERO about the command line so I’m seeking a good front-end that uses hardware acceleration (AMD GPU), does batch processing, allows video dimension & aspect control and audio normalization. I’ve tried several and it appears only ffBatch comes close & provides good encode times. I would appreciate any input if anyone knows of any other free, good ffmpeg front-ends with the features I listed. Thanks!
Handbrake can help. It is one of the best open-source transcoders. It is not exactly an ffmpeg front end, though.
Agreed, handbrake is what you want.
