Easily convert video files to .mp4

Description

'2mp4' is a utility that simplifies conversion of video files to mp4 format. It uses 'ffmpeg' with 'libx264' to do the required video and audio conversion.

Installation

1. Install ffmpeg version 1.0 or greater
2. Install mediainfo
3. Install 2mp4

$ [sudo] pip install 2mp4

Usage

$ 2mp4 -h
usage: 2mp4 [-h] [-n] [-f] [-v] input_file

Convert [input_file] to mp4. The output video file will be created in the same
directory named [input_file].mp4

positional arguments:
  input_file          file or directory to convert to mp4

optional arguments:
  -h, --help          show this help message and exit
  -n, --dry-run       Don't actually do the conversion, just show the
                      command(s) that would be executed
  -f, --force-encode  Force a re-encode of the video stream, even if it is
                      already in a format supported by mp4 container.
  -v, --version       show program's version number and exit

Support multiple simultaneous instance of 2mp4

Currently it won't work for 2 pass conversions. The second instance will overwrite the log file written by the first conversion pass of both 2mp4 processes.

Copy metadata

So far it seems to lose metadata (such as language of the audio stream).
