Convert Videos

This tool allows bulk conversion of videos using ffmpeg.

By default it will append the codec name to the file, e.g. Best Movie Ever.avi -> Best Movie Ever - x265.mkv. This can be optionally overridden.

Videos are only converted if they do not already match the desired codec, allowing you to process a folder of mixed format files and only convert the ones you desire. This can optionally be overridden.

Videos can also be resized automatically by providing a width. Height is automatically calculated to ensure that the aspect ratio is maintained.

Default settings: Audio: 160bps 2 channel AAC Video: HEVC/x265 at quality of 22
