For batch converting ISOs to a specific resolution and format while preserving folder hierarchy on Linux, you can indeed use ffmpeg
with a bash script. However, you might also consider using HandBrakeCLI
, which is a command-line interface for HandBrake, a popular video transcoder.
Here’s how you could use HandBrakeCLI
to achieve your goal:
HandBrakeCLI
if you haven’t already:sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli
#!/bin/bash
# Set input and output directories
input_dir="/path/to/your/input/directory"
output_dir="/path/to/your/output/directory"
# Convert ISOs to 720p h.265
find "$input_dir" -name "*.iso" -type f | while read -r file; do
output_file="${file%.iso}.mp4"
handbrakecli --input "$file" --output "$output_dir/$output_file" --preset="Super HQ 720p30 Surround"
done
Adjust the preset according to your needs. You can check available presets with HandBrakeCLI --preset-list
.
chmod +x convert_iso.sh
./convert_iso.sh
This script will convert all ISO files in the specified input directory to 720p h.265 MP4 files using HandBrakeCLI while preserving the folder hierarchy.
What about the current chip “paid” and “bought” by the customers?
