Advice Video codec conversions?

[Jupitus]

I have some *video media* which my friend would like to watch via USB on his TV. Almost all of previous stuff he has watched has worked ok, but he is getting zero audio on a recent *file* I sent him. 3 different *versions* of said *file* in fact.

I believe that I can convert this to something which will actually play with audio using VLC, but are there better freeware apps to use? Also, any advice on how to do a batch run over night, as oddly enough I appear to have about 8 similar *files* I would like to convert... ?

Jup I use Handbrake to convert my pr0n.

HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder

HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.

I've heard of that - does it have a Windows GUI and support batch conversion fella? I have used Linux in the past but only for work, never at home....

It is rather good, take it for a spin like when Debbie did Dallas *wink*

I use Handbrake as well, works well.

As always handbrake + avidemux .

If you have an Nvidia card you can use the GPU to rip through your transcoding. NVENC. Worth a look.

My choice depending on source is:

4K UHD Disc -> MakeMKV -> NAS
Blu-ray Disc -> MakeMKV -> Handbrake (H265) -> NAS

 

[Deebs]

I would have mentioned MakeMKV but I didn't want to overwhelm @Jupitus with technology as he still cannot use a calculator properly.

Some of those numbers are hard to reach!!

I will have to get you a stool as long as you promise to sit on the wide flat top and not one of the legs.
