ATTENTION

Since the script has become too confusing for me in the meantime, I decided to completely overhaul it.

ffmpeg-media-convert

Convert your Movie Media into multiple optimized Versions
complete Readme will be added soon

Info

This Script creates multiple for Plex optimized versions from your Media Library. If your Library contains one 4K HDR Movie, it will get converted into 6 different versions:

1. 4K HDR 20Mbit
2. 1080p HDR 10Mbit
3. 720p HDR 4Mbit
4. 4K SDR 12Mbit
5. 1080p SDR 8Mbit
6. 720p SDR 4Mbit

SD Content will be reencoded in HEVC 1MBit

You can define all Bitrate settings with parameters.
