|
||
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
|
||
<p>Performs a simple video file conversion using global Videobeaux encoding settings.<br />
|
||
Useful for remuxing, transcoding, codec changes, rewrapping containers, or generating standardized media versions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
|
||
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">convert</code> exists as a lightweight, universal tool for turning one media container or codec into another.<br />
|
||
This is ideal for:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>converting incompatible formats into editing-friendly files,</li>
|
||
<li>rewrapping media without re-encoding,</li>
|
||
<li>transcoding to delivery-safe formats,</li>
|
||
<li>preparing videos for downstream Videobeaux programs,</li>
|
||
<li>batch normalization of mixed-file libraries.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><strong>Input Decoding</strong><br />
|
||
The source file is decoded as needed, depending on global codec options.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Re-encode or Stream Copy</strong>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If no codec is specified, Videobeaux uses its global defaults.</li>
|
||
<li>If codecs are set globally (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">vcodec</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">acodec</code>), <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">convert</code> applies them here.</li>
|
||
<li>If settings allow stream copy, the video may be remuxed without re-encoding.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Output Writing</strong><br />
|
||
The converted or rewrapped video is written to the path specified via <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-o</code>.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>No Additional Logic</strong><br />
|
||
This program intentionally provides a pure conversion operation, without filtering or modification.</li>
|
||
</ol>

</code></pre></div></div>

|

<li><em>(No program-specific arguments — this module relies entirely on Videobeaux global encoding settings.)</em></li>

<h2 id="technical-notes">Technical Notes</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Rewrapping (e.g., MKV → MP4) is extremely fast when using stream copy.</li>
|
||
<li>Full transcoding (e.g., H.264 → ProRes, AAC → WAV) depends on global audio/video codec settings.</li>
|
||
<li>File size and transcoding time are directly impacted by CRF, bitrate, and preset settings.</li>
|
||
<li>Useful for generating clean, uniform input files before applying more complex Videobeaux processes.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Normalizing transcoded footage from varied sources.</li>
|
||
<li>Preparing content for editing systems that dislike certain containers/codecs.</li>
|
||
<li>Creating proxy versions for offline workflows.</li>
|
||
<li>Converting videos to universally compatible formats for distribution, archive, or broadcast.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="quality-tips">Quality Tips</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Use a low CRF (14–18) for high-quality archival intermediates.</li>
|
||
<li>If the goal is speed, choose faster presets (e.g., <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">faster</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">fast</code>).</li>
|
||
<li>For maximum compatibility, output H.264 + AAC in MP4.</li>
|
||
<li>For high-end workflows, output ProRes or another mezzanine codec.</li>
|
||
<li>Always verify that audio channel layouts survive the conversion correctly.</li>
|
||
</ul>
