I've captured a bunch of old vhs tapes to dv. I want to edit them and
render to mp4 with x264 and libfaac for streaming to a ps3. In kino I
can do this calling an export script that is a modification of the
standard dual-pass script:
#!/bin/sh
# A Kino export script that outputs PlayStation 3 compatible Best
Quality H.264 MP4 using ffmpeg with x264
usage()
{
# Title
echo "Title: H.264 MP4 Best Quality Dual Pass for PS3 (FFMPEG)"
# Usable?
aac=`ffmpeg -formats 2> /dev/null | egrep "(Encoders:)|(.*EA.*aac)" |
grep aac | wc -l`
h264=`ffmpeg -formats 2> /dev/null | egrep "(Encoders:)|(.*EV.*264)" |
grep 264 | wc -l`
[ "$aac" -gt 0 ] && [ "$h264" -gt 0 ] && echo Status: Active || echo
Status: Inactive
# Type
echo Flags: double-pass best quality PS3 compatible file-producer
# Profile - only Best Quality
echo "Profile: Best Quality (native size, interlace, 2240 kb/s)"
}
execute()
{
# Arguments
normalisation="$1"
length="$2"
profile="$3"
file="$4"
project="$5"
pass="$6"
aspect="$7"
. "`dirname $0`/ffmpeg_utils.sh"
# generate filename if missing
[ "x$file" = "x" ] && file="kino_export_"`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S`
# Create metadata options
title=`awk '/title="/ {split($0, x, "\""); z = 0; for (y in x) if (x[y]
~ /title=/) z = y + 1; print x[z]; exit}' "$project"`
author=`awk '/author="/ {split($0, x, "\""); z = 0; for (y in x) if
(x[y] ~ /author=/) z = y + 1; print x[z]; exit}' "$project"`
comment=`awk '/abstract="/ {split($0, x, "\""); z = 0; for (y in x) if
(x[y] ~ /abstract=/) z = y + 1; print x[z]; exit}' "$project"`
copyright=`awk '/copyright="/ {split($0, x, "\""); z = 0; for (y in x)
if (x[y] ~ /copyright=/) z = y + 1; print x[z]; exit}' "$project"`
# Run the command
case "$pass" in

rm -f "$file-0.log"

esac
}
[ "$1" = "--usage" ] || [ -z "$1" ] && usage "$@" || execute "$@"
Now some of this script is kino specific, but the ffmpeg command lines
are what I'd like for rendering from kdenlive: 2 pass , high quality ,
level 4.1 and interlaced ( I'll let the ps3 do deimterlacing, and keep
the video the same as the dv ). I also prefer to use the presets, since
someone else is then responsible for keeping the presets in sync with
ffmpeg changes, at least in theory.
Is there a similar script in kdenlive I can modify to accomplish this?
