amqencode

ffmpeg scripts for handicaps

This Python 3 package simplifies 2-pass VP9/Opus encoding for AMQ using ffmpeg. It's basically a wrapper with presets for ffmpeg-python, with some hacky stuff to get 2-pass encodes working.

You can use it to encode every resolution of a video with a single command.

You can override a lot of the presets. Passing norm=True automatically adjusts volume levels for you.

I'll write up documentation later.

Install it with pip

First, install Python 3 if you haven't already. Then,

pip install amqencode

or maybe this on Windows

py -3 -m pip install amqencode

Also make sure that ffmpeg is on your PATH.

Usage

import amqencode in your python scripts.

See sample_encode.py for an example of a script that encodes a video into mp3 and webms, then muxes those outputs with clean audio.

CLI

If you just want to encode a file without writing a standalone script, you can call the package directly from a terminal.

*nix

python3 -m amqencode

Windows

py -3 -m amqencode

However, this is incapable of muxing clean audio into an encode.
