Travis David npm npm

This tool uniformly transcodes video files into a consistent MP4 format.

Status

This project is currently pre-alpha. Currently working on overall class architecture. Initial tests of conversion / media detection are successful.

I'm planning on implementing an architecture similar to the following:

  • classes to model videos, formats, codecs, and streams
  • a configuration file parser
  • a planner that can determine the desired end state of a given video, stream, etc. based on the specified configuration and can generate a diff of what needs to change to transform the original
  • an executor that takes the diff and applies it using one or more manipulators (using a tool like ffmpeg, a JS-based manipulator, etc)
  • surrounding helper scripts for post-processing, interacting with a cli, etc.

History

This project took its initial inspiration from sickbeard_mp4_automator, a Python-based project with a similar goal. tidying was built to port the functionality of sickbeard_mp4_automator to Node.js, rearchitect and rewrite the entire application, and implement a modular plugin system to allow expansion.

As it took its original inspiration from sickbeard_mp4_automator, here are a few potential feature requests / PRs that may be potentially interesting to this project:

  • consider fixing audio gain when downsampling (#219)
  • look into detecting and enabling hardware acceleration if available (#277, #431)
  • add detailed stream manipulation (like ability to keep certain streams in addition to transcoded ones, specify their order, etc.)
  • add ability to strip metadata, chapters, certain stream types, etc
  • add pluggable filters (process files based on extension, stream type, etc.)
  • add option to keep original file timestamp
  • look into embedding subtitles in other languages
  • potentially add Handbrake as a manipulator if the source file is an ISO
