What tools do you all use for different aspects of your VEAI workflow?
I am using Handbrake to quickly deinterlace .mkv files to .m4v and then processing that into VEAI.
However, I received a warning that .mp4 cannot handle greater than 4k files? So, I processed a file to .png and now I have 60,000+ .png files and am struggling to figure out what to do with them. Ideally, I’d like to get them into h.265, but in some cases, I might want to pass them through VEAI again.
What is everyone using to convert the .pngs to h.265?
What is everyone using for convert the .pngs into a format to run back into VEAI?
I’m using Avisynth to deinterlace, and ffmpeg to encode the images. Here’s an example ffmpeg → h.265 command line. This outputs in 10 bit format, which I think makes dark scenes look better. You can change “format” to yuv420p if you just want 8 bit. This will cooy the audio and subtitle streams from the source file:
