• FFMPEG - Add (white, color-less, analog) grain to the video without desaturating video itself

  2 December 2018, by dd_code

  I am working on old videos where I am basically converting them to HVEC and sharpening, so i.e. my command can look like this

  .\ffmpeg.exe -i F:\file.mkv -vf unsharp=3:3:1.5 -c:v hevc_nvenc -qp 27 -a:c copy file_new.mkv

  inherent problem with this is, of course that with reducing bitrate and sharpening every now and then I can notice some nasty artifacts around the edges and on at plain-color objects.

  I noticed with some older, many times remastered movies/series that they have quite a lot of grain in the video, so I was thinking - what if I add grain and help it to mask the compression and sharpening artifacts?

  After bit of searching I got to
  https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#noise
  and now I am using this command

  .\ffmpeg.exe -i F:\file.mkv -vf unsharp=3:3:1.5,noise=alls=14:allf=t+u -c:v hevc_nvenc -qp 30 -a:c copy file_new.mkv

  however this has one big problem, it is merely a digital RGB noise, is there a way to make it desaturated, analog-ish? I tried adding h=s=0, however this is applying 0 saturation to the video track as a whole. Is there an effect which would achieve this or is there a way that I can reduce the saturation only of the very effect which then gets to "overlay" the video track, so the track would not be touched?

• Batch script to convert all avi to mp4 and delete after conversion using HandBrake command line

  26 February 2014, by RarLines

  So easy and cool batch question. Sorry for this ultimate newbie question !

  I've a folder which contains hundreds of videos like that:

  Video001 - Introduction.avi
  
  Video002 - History of Stack Overflow.avi
  
  Video003 - Before Asking.avi
  
  ...
  
  Video999 - Conclusion.avi

  I need re-encode all of them with x264 codec. Ffmpeg is very slow so I tried to use HandBrake. There is a command line edition of HB and great default presents. I could write this command for converting only one file with "Normal" present:

  HandBrakeCLI.exe -i "Video001 - Introduction.avi" -o "Video001 - Introduction.mp4" -Z Normal

  My question: How can I convert all of them in folder and delete after conversion process? Thank you!

  Note: If you think ffmpeg is better solution I can give my fav present. Handbrake says about Normal present:

  Normal:  -e x264  -q 20.0 -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R Auto -D 0.0 --audio-copy-mask aac,ac3,dtshd,dts,mp3 --audio-fallback ffac3 -f mp4 --loose-anamorphic --modulus 2 -m --x264-preset veryfast --h264-profile main --h264-level 4.0
