Batch transcode helper for media files using ffmpeg. https://git.dennisfink.me/transcode.sh/atom/?h=v2.0.0 2026-05-17T06:54:52Z 2026-05-17T06:54:52Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-17T06:54:52Z urn:sha1:7ec4afb9f14c96db843d9569e0c32c14283ea9a5 2026-05-17T06:52:08Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-17T06:52:08Z urn:sha1:cb2b61479bf74ecd5636b06389b9651216512532 Add release version and revision date markers to the README so release tooling can update visible project metadata automatically. Expose the current packaged version near the top of the README without changing the rest of the documentation structure. 2026-05-17T06:37:26Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-17T06:37:26Z urn:sha1:8daa738b2450b8063178d9a69a99a21789351b30 Add initial contributed presets for AV1/SVT-AV1, H.264/x264, H.265/x265, and VP9/libvpx-vp9. Provide fast, balanced, and high-quality variants where applicable so users can choose between encode speed, compression efficiency, and visual quality. Include preset descriptions and use derived GOP size and pixel format settings where appropriate for consistent behavior with transcode.sh. 2026-05-16T19:47:14Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T19:47:14Z urn:sha1:f7f7769f1a9141da4823e3f33ea6152bbdb254d8 Add SPDX copyright and license markers to repository metadata and documentation files. Use comment styles appropriate for git attributes, gitignore, the commit message template, README, and justfile so license metadata is visible without changing runtime behavior. 2026-05-16T19:39:43Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T19:39:43Z urn:sha1:2e7ee616e819735c4024d750d1e93cffa029ac05 Add a developer script that uses ffmpeg lavfi sources to create synthetic video test files without storing binary media in the repository. Allow callers to choose codec, resolution, duration, frame rate, source filter, pixel format, output path, and overwrite behavior from the command line. Expose the generator through just and ignore generated testfiles in git. 2026-05-16T17:46:45Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T17:46:45Z urn:sha1:a53a593f962f8371ccc60a3a0a5edcaf4fc11390 Split the release helper into clearer section headers that match the main script structure. Move terminal color detection into main execution so function definitions stay grouped together before the executable flow. 2026-05-16T13:08:15Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T13:08:15Z urn:sha1:7a33be9034e7d950459c7a30a49d544cf36e5270 Add --skip-codec-override so users can ignore configured skip codecs for a single run and use only codecs provided through --skip-codec. Defer CLI skip-codec parsing until after config loading so the final skip list can be resolved independently of option order. Document the new override behavior in the README and man page, and add shell completion for the new flag. 2026-05-16T10:39:15Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T10:39:15Z urn:sha1:054a300fe5b81ed04f84e902e05c4f4efb95a193 Add --backup-dir support so successful encodes can copy the original file to an existing backup directory before replacing it. Preserve each source file's absolute path below the backup directory and avoid overwriting existing backups by appending numeric suffixes when needed. Document the new CLI and config option, and add directory completion for the backup path. 2026-05-16T06:42:23Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T06:42:23Z urn:sha1:4bb37025cf1b4516acd2746dc60ec59449e8aab0 Keep nice validation focused on accepting integer values instead of rejecting values outside the standard -20 to 19 range. Avoid failing early for values that nice itself accepts and clamps internally. This gives users behavior that matches the underlying tool instead of turning a non-error into a transcode.sh usage error. Update help text and README wording to describe the option as a nice adjustment, matching the command behavior. 2026-05-16T05:59:48Z Dennis Fink 2026-05-16T05:59:48Z urn:sha1:13b50b5faae3d46e1b23ccc4922b098b7feaf709 Add a file structure overview and split the script into clearer section headers so related functions are easier to find. Move main execution below all function definitions and add local subsection comments inside encode_one without changing the script behavior.
