Hi10p Transcoder Release 1.0.0
The first release of the light weight hi10p to 8-bit h264 transcoding utility is here!
It’s a pretty simple application that’ll take in batches of hi10p files and convert them one-by-one into 8-bit h264 files. I know “one-by-one?!? That’s slow! I got 8 cores on my computer! You can thread that out right?” Normally I would say “Yea totally!”, but for better or worse one ffmpeg process eats up all the cores. No point in threading out multiple processes if there’s no spare capacity.
Using the utility should be pretty obvious. Select some source files, select a destination folder, click the transcode button, and go do something else while it does its magic. The utility is using fast transcoding, so the resulting file may or may not be larger than the original hi10p file. Also, all other aspects of the file remain the same (audio, subtitles, etc). Only the video portion is being changed.
For the time being, this project will focus on the Windows platform. It would be nice to also create a utility for the Mac OS in the future, but that’s a project for another weekend.
