FFMP - FFMPEG Multi-Processing

🚀 Overview

A multithreaded C# CLI for digital media processing using FFMPEG. Transcode as many files in parallel as your system can handle.

🎯 Features

• Processing Multiple video files at once
• As many concurrent processes as your system can handle

ℹ️ Requirements

• .NET 8.0 Runtime

🛠️ Installation

1. Go to the Releases page and Download the latest Version for your OS
2. Open a Terminal/CMD Window

💻 Usage

General Usage

FFMP's usage is almost identical to FFMPEG, consider this simple example:

dotnet path/to/FFMP.dll --codec libx265 --preset fast -d "/path/to/input/files" --output-pattern "/path/to/output/files/{{name}}_compressed{{ext}}" --threads 2

Using FFMP for a single file doesn't really make sense. Use this tool if you have a folder of videos you want to process.

You can also use a text-file with paths to video files as an input like this:

dotnet path/to/FFMP.dll --codec libx265 --preset fast -t "/path/to/videos.txt" --output-pattern "/path/to/output/files/{{name}}_compressed{{ext}}" --threads 2

You can adjust your codec by using any codec that is installed on your system behind the --codec parameter. Same goes for the preset in --preset.

If you need to pass any other arguments to FFMPEG (like audio codecs, video bitrate, subtitle processing, etc.) you can do it like this:

Advanced Arguments for FFMPEG

dotnet path/to/FFMP.dll --codec libx265 --preset fast -t "/path/to/videos.txt" --output-pattern "/path/to/output/files/{{name}}_compressed{{ext}}" --threads 2 -- -crf 22 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -c:a libopus -b:a 320k -c:s copy

Everything behind the -- indicator is passed directly to FFMPEG.

Mass-Converting Files

Introduced in Version 1.3.0, FFMP now features "Mass-Converting" Files. This takes advantage of everything FFMP already offers and enables Mass-Converting files from one format to another. Not only can you provide directories or txt-files as sources, multiple videos are converted in parallel.

Converting using a directory

dotnet path/to/FFMP.dll --convert -d "/path/to/videos/directory" --output-format .mkv

Converting using a txt-file

dotnet path/to/FFMP.dll --convert -d "/path/to/videos.txt" --output-format .mkv

If you want to see all of FFMPEGs output, just use the --verbose flag.
