Test Clips
Video clips for use in testing video and media encoders.
Currently this project only works with the SVT AV1 encoder.
Usage
To see the available options:
go run . -h
To perform one conversion, with some (example) options specified:
go run . -i HaruhiSchool.mkv -crf 10 -p 12 -fg 0
Pro-tip: If you want to perform multiple conversions with one of the options changing, use your shell's for loop (bash shown):
for p in {4..12}; do go run . -i FFXVForwardVistas.m2ts -crf 30 -p $p -fg 0; done
Or in a matrix (bash shown) -- this example tests presets 4-12, every fourth CRF (i.e. 10,14, 18, etc.) and a hand-picked selection of film grain values:
for crf in {10..63..4}; do for p in {4..12}; do for fg in 0 1 8 15; do go run . -o output -i HaruhiSchool.mkv -crf $crf -p $p -fg $fg; done; done; done
Failed conversions
If processing fails or an interrupt signal (e.g. Ctrl+C on the CLI) is received, files will be renamed to allow easy identification of failed attempts and easy retries.
For example, if an error occurs during video conversion (or it's interrupted), these files:
video.mkv
video.mkv.log
Will automatically be renamed to:
video.failed.mkv
video.failed.mkv.log
Since Test Clips checks for the existence of successful files prior to working, simply re-run matrices of video parameters (like the for loops suggested above) to re-attempt failures while skipping previous successes.
If you retry processing and it fails again, the original failed files will be overwritten.
