HANDBRAKE CLI FOR MAC UPDATE
I haven’t taken the time to sort that out yet, but will update this blog when I do. So be sure to change “My Home Video.mov” to “My-Home-Video.mov” before dropping into the input folder. The Hazel embedded script will fail if the original video has spaces in the name. I set this up on our 8-core iMac at home, and watched it blow through 100 videos. One setup, all you have to do is drop videos into the “input-ipod” folder, wait a few moments, and watch Hazel kick into action. On that folder, create the following rule with two steps: (1) the first runs an embedded shell script (passing each video file to HandBrakeCLI for processing) and, (2) when done, move the original video to the “processed” folder, which you can later delete or whatever.Once Hazel is installed, add the “input-ipod” folder to its watch list.We’re going to tell Hazel to watch the “input-ipod” folder, and whenever it finds a new video file, to process that file with HandBrakeCLI, and then move the original into the “processed” folder. I have the following folder structure: /Users/mhenders/Hazel/Videos/input-ipod This bash shell script, which you can copy and paste later from Pastie.Hazel is a System Preference utility for the MacOS X, that allows you to schedule regular actions to be made on the contents of folders. Fire up Terminal, navigate to wherever HandBrakeCLI is, and move it to your /usr/bin directory with this command (you’ll be asked for your admin password).
HANDBRAKE CLI FOR MAC HOW TO
Don’t expect the “doc” folder that comes with this utility to actually tell you how to install it. This is a version of HandBrake that can be run from the command line. This weekend, with the help of Super-Makalu Justin Driscoll I finally created a batch processing system, based on HandBrake. HandBrake’s “Normal” preset will preserve the video’s original dimensions. For example, all the presets in something like RoadMovie will change the resolution of the encoded video. Why haven’t I stuck with one of the other products? Because none of them have presets that are as good as HandBrake’s, and I couldn’t be bothered to learn the FFMPEG syntax. No, you have to chose them one at a time, and manually add them to the HandBrake queue. Unlike all other products, you can’t just drag a bunch of videos into HandBrake. Why haven’t I just stuck with HandBrake in the first place? One reason - its UI for batch converting videos sucks.
I’ve tried just about every video encoding product for MacOS X, and always keep returning to the venerable HandBrake.
