Getting Started

FFenmass is an ffmpeg wrapper, adding the ability to manipulate media files in directories and recreate them recursively. Currently works in Linux folder structures only. Windows support is planned.

Prerequisites

FFenmass only requires ffmpeg and python3.

Installation

Using pip

pip3 install ffenmass

Usage

FFenmass is transparent above ffmpeg, this means most ffmpeg syntax can be used with ffenmass as is.

The only differences being the input (-i) and the output being directories instead of files.

Also ffenmass ignores file extensions, you will need to specifify container using ffmpeg's -f argument.

The result is ffenmass will encode all media files detected under the input directory with the provided ffmpeg arguments and output them with the same folder structure and filenames in the output directory.

Example compared to standard ffmpeg syntax

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -acodec copy -vcodec libx265 -b:v 2M -minrate 1M -maxrate 3M -preset medium out.mp4


ffenmass -i /path/to/folder/ -acodec copy -vcodec libx265 -b:v 2M -minrate 1M -maxrate 3M -preset medium -f mp4 /output/directory/
