SREVIEW-ENCODE(1p)

💖 SREVIEW-ENCODE 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to sreview-encode from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (it lives in section 1p btw, for the perl girlies) ✨

this little icon does one thing and does it gorgeously: it uses the SReview library to transcode a file from one format to another 🦋 no cap. it's giving "glow up your video file" energy and honestly? obsessed.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sreview-encode --input input.mkv --output output.webm --profile webm --multipass

like. that's the whole vibe. in, out, profile, multipass. slay 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --input=FILE — use FILE as the input file to read video data from. this gets passed unmodified straight to ffmpeg(1)'s -i parameter, no edits, no notes, no drama. there is no default for this one — it is required, so if you skip it you're on your own fr fr 😭
• --output=FILE — use FILE as the output file to write the transcoded video to. this gets passed unmodified to ffmpeg(1) as the output file name. the default? it's the base name of the input file (with whatever comes after the final dot, if anything, removed — yes, even if there's nothing after that dot, we're chill) and then it's supplemented with the default extension for the profile you're using 🫶
• --acopy — turns on the acopy option on the SReview::Videopipe being used, which tells ffmpeg that it should not transcode the audio and instead just copy it from one container to another, unmodified. the audio gets to stay exactly as it is, main character energy, no notes 💖
• --vcopy — turns on the vcopy option on the SReview::Videopipe being used, and it does to the video literally the exact same thing that --acopy does to the audio. twins 👑
• --multipass — enables a 2-pass transcode. twice the passes, twice the love 🌸
• --profile — select the profile to be used. that's it, that's the whole thing 🎀

ngl, if you're the kind of person who transcodes things for fun, this page was made for you. iykyk 💜
