Configurazione manuale

Regola con precisione codec, CRF, audio, sottotitoli e accelerazione hardware per un controllo completo.

Codec Selection

Choose between H.264 (widest compatibility), H.265/HEVC (best balance of quality and size), AV1 (highest compression efficiency), or VP9 (open-source, web-friendly). Each codec offers different tradeoffs between encoding speed, file size, and playback compatibility.

CRF Slider

The Constant Rate Factor (CRF) controls quality. Lower values mean higher quality and larger files. Typical ranges: 18-23 for high quality, 24-28 for balanced, 29-35 for aggressive compression. The slider provides real-time estimated savings.

Audio Options

Audio streams can be copied as-is (fastest, no quality loss) or re-encoded. Copying is recommended unless you need to reduce audio bitrate or change the audio codec.

Subtitle Handling

Subtitle streams are preserved by default during recompression. Text-based subtitles (SRT, ASS) are copied directly. Bitmap subtitles (PGS, VobSub) are handled according to the output container format.

Output Directory

Choose where recompressed files are saved. By default, output files are placed in a subfolder next to the originals. You can also specify a custom output directory for all processed files.

Elaborazione in batch

Aggiungi cartelle, configura il numero di worker e lascia che la coda elabori l'intera libreria video durante la notte.

Multi-Worker Queue

The application processes multiple videos simultaneously using a worker queue. Software encoding defaults to 1-2 workers (since FFmpeg itself uses multiple CPU cores). Hardware encoding supports 2-3 concurrent workers for maximum GPU utilization.

Pause, Resume, and Cancel

You can pause the entire queue at any time and resume later. Individual jobs can be cancelled without affecting the rest of the queue. Pausing does not corrupt partially encoded files.

Progress Tracking

Each file shows a real-time progress bar based on frame count. The dashboard provides an overview of total progress, estimated time remaining, and cumulative space savings across the entire batch.

Hardware Acceleration

Rileva automaticamente la tua GPU e la utilizza per una codifica rapidissima. Passa al software se non viene trovato hardware compatibile.

GPU Vendor	Technology	H.264	H.265	AV1	VP9
NVIDIA	NVENC	h264_nvenc	hevc_nvenc	av1_nvenc	—
Intel	QSV	h264_qsv	hevc_qsv	av1_qsv	vp9_qsv
AMD	AMF	h264_amf	hevc_amf	av1_amf	—

Automatic Fallback

If hardware encoding fails or is unavailable, the application automatically retries with the corresponding software encoder (libx264, libx265, libsvtav1, or libvpx-vp9). This happens transparently — you never see the failure. Every file completes regardless of GPU availability.

Interfaccia a riga di comando

Automatizza la ricompressione video tramite script, attività pianificate o pipeline CI/CD con lo strumento CLI.

Basic Usage

VideoRecompressStudio.CLI --input <directory> --preset phone_archive --output <directory>

Available Options

Option	Description
`--input <path>`	Input directory to scan for video files (recursive)
`--output <path>`	Output directory for recompressed files
`--preset <name>`	Use a built-in preset: phone_archive, youtube_raw, security_archive, wedding_archive, max_savings, quick_h264, web_optimized
`--codec <codec>`	Video codec: h264, h265, av1, vp9
`--crf <value>`	CRF quality value (0-51, lower = higher quality)

Examples

# Compress home videos with the Phone Archive preset
VideoRecompressStudio.CLI --input "D:\Videos\Phone" --preset phone_archive --output "D:\Videos\Compressed"

# Use AV1 with custom CRF for maximum savings
VideoRecompressStudio.CLI --input "E:\SecurityCam" --codec av1 --crf 32 --output "E:\Archive"

# Process with 3 hardware-accelerated workers
VideoRecompressStudio.CLI --input "D:\Projects" --preset youtube_raw --workers 3 --output "D:\Encoded"
