Convert 10Bit Files to 8Bit files

[goochem4u]

Hello everybody,

I have looked online but could not find any solution to my problem. I have a DS214Play with a intel Processor(evansport feature for transcoding).

My only problem is that some anime is in 10 bit and my sickrage installation(for searching and downloading tv shows) cannot see/filter if its 10 bits or 8 bits. I am looking for a command line(for cronjob) or package that will look in my video directory for all video files with 10 bit encoding and convert them to 8 bit. Afterwards it can delete the 10bit and keep the 8 bit.

This is because i have multiple xbmc installations and these cannot handle 10 bit video files.

I have the FFMPEG plugin with DTS support and evansport support so maybe this can be used(command line style:))?

Do you guys(or girls) know a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to transcode the video with ffmpeg.

Maybe something as simple as this:

Code: [Selecteer]

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec libx264 -crf 19 -acodec copy output.mkv
Adjust crf value to visual preference. I normally use 18-19 for SD transcoding and 20-21 for HD transcoding. (lower the number, the higher the bitrate of the final encode)
