fallingsnow/h265ize

A node utility utilizing ffmpeg to encode videos with the hevc codec.

Unmaintained

h265ize hasn't been maintained for a long time and there are no plans to maintain/update it in the future.

h265ize

h265ize is a fire and forget weapon. A nodejs utility utilizing ffmpeg to encode large quantities of videos with the hevc codec. For more information visit ayrton.sparling.us.

If you have any questions or h265ize isn't working for you, feel free to open an issue.

h265ize will support AV1 once encoder support becomes stable & plex supports decoding it.

Features

• Works on Windows, OSX, and Linux
• Batch file processing (can process a whole folder)
• Automatically detects video files (only processes video files found within a folder)
• Detects all audio tracks
• Preserves audio codecs
• Preserves audio track titles
• Detects and preserves all subtitles
• Detects audio language, if audio language is not your native language and native language subtitles are provided, makes those subtitles default
• Automatically upconvert vobsub/dvdsubs to srt subtitles on mkv files
• Detects bit depth and uses appropriate encoder profile (10-bit is common in high quality anime, supports 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit)
• Verbose and preview mode
• File overwrite detection (doesn't accidentally write over a file that already exists, other than in preview mode)
• Detects if file is already encoded in x265 and skips it
• Ability to make encoding previews
• Take screenshots of a finished encode
• Faulty encoding detection based on before and after video durations
• Maintains file structure in output folder (So in theory you could just take your 3tb movie folder and throw it into the script and the output folder should look that same but with x265 videos)

Dependencies

• Node.js - Required in order to run h265ize.
• ffmpeg - Does the video conversion among other things.

Option Dependencies

• mkvtoolnix - Used for upconverting subs in MKVs.
• vobsub2srt - Used for upconverting subs.

Aspresets

Preset	Description
anime-high	A very good preset for all types of anime. Produces very good quality for a very small size.
anime-medium	Same as anime-high but uses debanding to produce better color gradients.
testing-ssim	x265's native preset just in SSIM mode.

Examples

• h265ize -v big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
• h265ize -v -d /home -q 25 big_buck_bunny_folder
• h265ize -d /home -q 25 --watch videos/folder

Stats file

The stats file is located at the current working directory under the name h265ize.csv. This must be enabled using the --stats flag. The file is composed of several lines. Each line is in the format

[Finish Encoding Date],[File Path],[Original Size],[Encoded size],[Compression Precent],[Encoding Duration]

For example:

08/13 02:46:03 PM, videos/[deanzel] Noir - 08 [BD 1080p Hi10p Dual Audio FLAC][a436a4e8].mkv, 1964MB, 504MB, 25.66%, 2:51:16

Creating 10bit & 12bit encodes

To create 10 or 12bit encodes, simply pass the --bitdepth 10 or --bitdepth 12 parameters. Make sure you have the correct libraries or ffmpeg static build.

h265ize's Issues

Non english formatted dates don't work

Hi,

My linux is in french, and your script doesn't like the way my date are formatted.

date: incorrect date «mardi 10 mai 2016, 10:20:21 (UTC+0200)»

Doesn't seem to prevent the script from running, but I don't know if this could cause trouble.

Regards,

Azsde.

Enhancement: Ability to use config file

Anyway we could get a command to specify as config file that I can use instead of modify the whole h265ize, it would make it easier to keep up to date with you git.

Thank you

Converted file doesn't have original audio track

I'm not sure if this is by design, but when a file is converted, the audio gets dropped from 5.1 to stereo. Linked is a sample file.

Original file: http://imgur.com/T0AJKkj
Output file: http://imgur.com/Hs1j0GD

Is there something I need to change, or an option I need to use, to get it to maintain the original audio? I looked through the script and didn't see anything.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for the great script!

Dates on mac don't work

He audio creates wrong title

HE encoded audio streams may get the wrong title if the title is generated.

script fails on some mp4s with embedded thumbnails...

I was transcoding a bunch of files, there were some complete seasons which consistently failed.

After looking at the output, I noticed the the -w and -l (video dimensions) were crazy. I traced it back to the fact that some mp4 files have embedded thumbnails that return this at the ffprobe:

codec_name=png
codec_type=video
width=600
height=600
coded_width=600
coded_height=600
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=N/A

There is another category of files that fail, which seems to be correlated with srt subtitles, that have something like the following streams:

---

0:
codec_name=aac
codec_type=audio
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=N/A

1:
codec_name=h264
codec_type=video
width=1280
height=716
coded_width=1280
coded_height=720
avg_frame_rate=2997/125
bits_per_raw_sample=8

2:
codec_name=srt
codec_type=subtitle
width=N/A
height=N/A
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=N/A

3:
codec_name=mjpeg
codec_type=video
width=120
height=176
coded_width=120
coded_height=176
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=8

4:
codec_name=mjpeg
codec_type=video
width=600
height=882
coded_width=600
coded_height=882
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=8

5:
codec_name=mjpeg
codec_type=video
width=1067
height=600
coded_width=1067
coded_height=600
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=8

6:
codec_name=mjpeg
codec_type=video
width=213
height=120
coded_width=213
coded_height=120
avg_frame_rate=0/0
bits_per_raw_sample=8

---

... again, I'm guessing these differently sized "mjeg" streams are related to subtitles.

I fixed this by just skipping them with a hack:

L501 if [ "$codec_type" = "video" ]; then

---

        if [ $codec_name = "png" ] || [ $codec_name = "mjpeg"]; then
        unset language
        unset title
        unset codec_name
        unset codec_type
        unset bits_per_raw_sample
        unset width
        unset height
        unset avg_frame_rate
        continue
        fi

---

        tempVars+=([sourceWidth]="$width")
        tempVars+=([sourceHeight]="$height")

but, there's probably a more elegant solution

h265ize.zip

Use mktemp instead of $RANDOM

Shouldn't be using $RANDOM to make a random file name, mktemp should be used instead.

Multi-pass support

Add support for multiple passes.

Module Support

Should be able to use h265ize as a module in other projects.

Possible code refactor to nodejs

As h265ize has grown, the code base has become a bit of a mess. While bash is a useful language for automating user actions, its age has started to become apparent. I would like to ask the users of h265ize if a their would be any restrictions to using h265ize if the code base was moved to nodejs. This would mean adding nodejs as a dependency. I will leave this issue open for at least 2 weeks for discussion.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please reply below.

Create sample of finished encode

h265ize will make a sample of the finished encode. The length will be set by the -l flag.

Add the possibility to skip errors

If an error is encountered at any point, the entire script stops. Need to add a --skip-errors flag.

Want to back this issue? Post a bounty on it! We accept bounties via Bountysource.

Encoding completion ETA

Provide an ETA for when an encode will finish.

Documentation displays incorrect he audio bitrate

Video detection seems overly fussy

I'm not sure the best route forward for this - the file autodetection is great when it works, but it seems to stumble a bit, i.e. this is autodetected:

$ file video1.m4v 
video1.m4v: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2
$ file -i video1.m4v 
video1.m4v: video/mp4; charset=binary

While this is never looked at - Handbrake will gladly convert it, but the script skips it since the mime-type that file -i returns isn't captured by the sed in the FILES=$() builder.

$ file video2.mkv 
video2.mkv: EBML file, creator matroska
$ file -i video2.mkv 
video2.mkv: application/octet-stream; charset=binary

I'm not sure what the right solution is, to be honest, since "application/octet-stream" is a perfectly legitimate mime-type, although not particularly specific. In the meantime I've added the following and am letting HandBrake reject errata:

ADDFILES=$(find "$DIRECTORY" -maxdepth ${options[depth]} -type f -exec file -N -i -- {} + | sed -n 's!: application/[^:]*$!!p')

And changed the file accumulator to:

FILES=( "${FILES[@]}" "${ADDFILES[@]}" "${EXCLUSIVEFILES[@]}" )

My magic is probably dated - it is FC18 after all.

Add normalization levels

Each level carries on to the next. This means level 3 includes all normalizations from level 1 to 3.

Level 0

• No normalization of any kind is applied

Level 1

• Videos are auto cropped

Level 2

• Subtitle Title normalization for subtitles streams already without a title
• Audio Title normalization for audio streams already without a title
• Language normalization detected from title if already exists. Search title for language and apply it to language tag in metadata.

Level 3

• Audio Normalization - “simple” audio RMS-based normalization to -2.0 dBFS
• Deinterlace videos.

Level 4

• Audio Normalization - loudnorm audio normalization

Level 5

This level may alter the video/audio/subtitles in undesirable ways, use caution.

• Audio Normalization - dynaudnorm audio normalization

Stats doesn't work

Need to fix stats

Screenshots

h265ize 4.0 should have the ability to output a few thumbnails after file is encoded. Perhaps even have the ability to make a comparison between the before and after video.

element type mismatch 1 != 0

Hi,

I have a message error when i encode and after the encode, the files are disappeared.
Erreur :

Thanks.
Regards.

launch in background

Hello :)
Is-it possible to launch the script in the background so it won't stop even if the session's stopped ?
Thank's !

Parallel io processing

This will increase the performance of h265ize itself but will most certainly create a logging incomprehensible to humans unless I create another logging method.

Generate ssim/psnr in stats file

It would be cool if the stats file had the ssim or psnr of the newly encoded file.

illegal character N error

It seems to crap out because of this, before I was getting a bunch of unary operator expected; according to manuals i read i could correct this by added an additional [ around if /&& statements, which i've done (see attachment) however I am getting illegal character N

h265ize.log-h265ize-bash.zip

Hello :)
I keep having this error despite having installed handbrake and handbrake-cli.
The machine is under debian 8 server.
Do you have any idea how to fix it ?
Thank's ! :)

Add option to disable adding auto generated audio title metadata

When batch converting a bunch of videos, many of them may not be properly tagged for language, or the user may not want additional metadata (which may present in the player) added to the audio stream.

Can you please add an option to disable adding audio title metadata?

Example problem output:

[h265ize]: [alert] Audio does not have a title. Title set to "Unknown MP3 (Stereo)".

In this example the player would default to playing the audio w/o a label until the metadata is added giving the user a bad UX because of the "Unknown" audio. Yes, one could go through the multitude of videos and ensure they all have proper language and meta tags, but:

[h265ize]: [alert] Audio does not have a title. Title set to "English AC3 (6.0 Channel)".

For someone who doesn't know what AC3 (or MP3) is, there's no need to add that to a label. They just want to know (if they want to know at all) what the language is.

For my videos the only title metadata that's stored on a per-stream basis is for subtitles to denote SDH subs.

Auto Replace source file with converted file

Not an issue but a feature requestion:
Can you please add an option to replace source file with converted file, after encoding in different directory, I've hacked up your older version to do this but it's not clean please see sample.
h265ize.tv.txt

Down scaling to 720p/480p

Size can be significantly reduced by down scaling. h265ize should be able to down scale to 720p or 480p.

option "parallel" undefined

....
h265ize: line 793: [: : integer expression expected
....

this is line:
if [ "${options[parallel]}" -eq 1 ]; then

I looked through the script, it seems that "parallel" is never defined...

Add auto cropping

Add support for crop detection and execution

ffmpeg exited with code 1: av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument

Hi,

I'm trying out the new version, it seems to work almost flawlessly, but on some files it gives me an error:

While the --help flag contains info about the --10bit and --12bit flags, the readme does not.

ffmpeg issue - Stream map matches no stream

Hi,

I tried converting a bunch of movies, it works fine except for a few ones: after encoding with handbrake, ffmpeg causes an error:

Stream map '0:3' matches no streams.
To ignore this, add a trailing '?' to the map.
[h265ize]: Ut oh. Ffmpeg exited with error code 1.

The temporary mkv file doesn't have any subtitles included in it.

How can I fix this ?

Regards,

Azsde.

delete option creates additional directories inside encoding folder.

It seems that it is creating additional directories inside the encoding folder.

Enable i have it set to delete the source after encoding and that works but, it is create useless directory tree inside the encoder folder.

script does not loop

Thanks for your always quick responses.

I was saving this until I could track down the error, but I can't find it.

version 0.2.2 fails to loop. Output shows all files found. First file is handbraked successfully, and then the script terminates without error. Removing the first finished file allows the next file to be handbraked, and then the script stops again.

As I said, I can't see the cause, but I haven't looked too closely.

Small Fixes

• add command.outputOptions('-c:d', 'copy');
• m2ts support
• command.audioCodec('copy');

ffmpeg version check of some flavor?

Another fiddly "your environment is too old" check - ffmpeg 1.0.8 doesn't do the necessary stuff to generate audio codec detection and video dimension data, at a minimum:

Debug generated commandline with a modern ffmpeg (2.8.2):

[h265ize]: [Debug] [Query] HandBrakeCLI -i video.mkv -o /home/pfriedel/h265/encoding-in-process-9512.mkv -w 1280 -l 720 --previews 50 -e x265 -q 23 --vfr -a 1,2 --gain 0 --audio-fallback ac3 -6 dpl2  -E ac3,ac3 -A"DD 5.1 @ 448Kbps,Commentary DD 2.0 @ 192Kbps" --subtitle 1  --encoder-profile=main --encoder-preset=superfast  --modulus 2 -m  --verbose=0 < /dev/null

Versus one with an ancient version of ffmpeg:

[h265ize]: [Debug] [Query] HandBrakeCLI -i video.mkv -o /home/pfriedel/h265/encoding-in-process-9379.mkv -w  -l  --previews 50 -e x265 -q 23 --vfr -a 1,2 --gain 0 --audio-fallback ac3 -6 dpl2  -E   --subtitle 1  --encoder-profile=main --encoder-preset=superfast  --modulus 2 -m  --verbose=0 < /dev/null

HandBrakeCLI chokes on the -E --subtitle 1 with the following error:

  + audio tracks:
    + 1, English (AC3) (5.1 ch) (iso639-2: eng), 48000Hz, 448000bps
    + 2, English (AC3) (2.0 ch) (iso639-2: eng), 48000Hz, 192000bps
  + subtitle tracks:
    + 1, English (iso639-2: eng) (Text)(UTF-8)
Invalid codec --subtitle, using default for container.

The hazard is that it makes files which appear to be correct, but are missing one of the important things that people are using h265ize for - pulling in all audio and sub track data without having to manually add them. I suspect a big red line in verbose mode to holler if ${tempVars[sourceWidth]} is null would be a useful alert here. I mean, I'd hate to parse ffmpeg -v and figure out if it's v1 or v2 and figuring out where to draw the line in the sand for "supported" versus "not supported" when it all boils down to "did I get data that I expected to get out of ffmpeg" seems like overkill anyway.

rolls back zpool snapshots from a week ago, starts over. 😄

Keypress support

Debug mode should be able to be enabled by pressing the d key at any time.

Would be cool if p paused and resumed an encode.

Feature / Question:

Not really the best place to ask this I guess but anyway to add to delete audio tracks that are not a certain language? for example I tend to get alot of stuff that is dual language however I'd like to remove everything but english / unknown.

Also was wondering if you have anything that I might use to identify all the video files I have that contain unknown audio tracks. Can't seem to find the best way to go about this.

Thanks!

Upconvert PGS subtitles?

I don't really know if this should be done... because you lose all the custom styling done with PGS subtitles and of course there is the inaccuracy of the OCR software used to upconvert the subtitles.

Add possibility to disable generated subtitle titles

Should a no-auto-subtitle-titles to add uniformity.

Mac Integer expression error

Running on mac throws integer expression errors on line 5 which appears to be the default settings.

Any suggestions for getting this to properly run on mac would be great.

Thanks.

ffmpeg location different on Ubuntu-based systems

Quick fix:

Setting subtitle names...
/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

$which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

suggestion:
/bin/ffmpeg -> ffmpeg

(is it considered good practice to hard-code each executable? even /bin/rm?)

thanks for this great script.
