FFmpeg 6.0
ffmpeg is my go-to re-encoder. I didn&#x27;t know ffprobe existed until I read some &quot;howto&quot; and its also increadibly useful as a way to get fundamental video and audio stream data out as e.g. csv or json.<p>So I can run an ffprobe script to get x,y info out, decide if the video needs re-encoding, pass to an ffmpeg call which does fast or veryfast settings to reset the x&#x2F;y scale (for instance)<p>It&#x27;s also unquestionably &#x27;self documenting&#x27; because all of the sheharazade 1001 options are listed in --help. The problem is knowing which one will make the horse speak.
