distributed-encoder

Mass encode videos using gnu parallel to automate mass folder encoding and distributing across machines

supported encoders

• av1an
• x265

Usage

Usage:
    ./run.sh -i {Folder location} {Options}
Example:
    ./run.sh -i "/home/luigi311/Videos" --extension "mkv" -enc av1an -f "-e x265 -v ' -p slower --crf 25 -D 10 -F 2 ' --target-quality 94 --vmaf --mkvmerge" --docker --distribute --audioflags "-c:a aac -b:a 192k" --audiostreams "0,2"
