VideoConverter

NetDot Project for converting video files using MediaToolkit (https://github.com/AydinAdn/MediaToolkit/)

Needs:

Dotnet
Visual Studio Code
Net45
C#

Most can be installed from the extensions of the Visual Studio Code. Some will be installed during the initialization process of the project.

How to initialize dotnet Project

Create a directory for your project and navigate there in the terminal
Enter the following in the terminal.

dotnet new console
dotnet add package MediaToolkit
dotnet add package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager

If you're not in the VSCode terminal, you can use code . to launch the entire directory as a project in VSCode.
Next step would be editing the Program.cs
Copy paste the following code. Example of directory: C:/Users/Admin/Downloads/001/ Always use forward slash

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using MediaToolkit;
using MediaToolkit.Model;
using MediaToolkit.Options;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ConvertMovsToMp4("Your Directory", "Your Directory");
    }

    static void ConvertMovsToMp4(string inputDirectory, string outputDirectory)
    {
        // Get all MOV files in the input directory
        var movFiles = Directory.GetFiles(inputDirectory, "*.mov");

        using (var engine = new Engine())
        {
            foreach (var inputFilePath in movFiles)
            {
                // Construct output file path with the same filename but different extension
                var outputFilePath = Path.Combine(outputDirectory, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFilePath) + ".mp4");

                var inputFile = new MediaFile { Filename = inputFilePath };
                var outputFile = new MediaFile { Filename = outputFilePath };

                // Convert the MOV file to MP4
                engine.Convert(inputFile, outputFile);

                Console.WriteLine($"Conversion complete for: {inputFilePath}");
            }
        }

        Console.WriteLine("All conversions complete!");
    }
}

Then enter the following command to the terminal to start converting your file.

dotnet build
dotnet run

Notes:

The code above is only for .mov to .mp4 video files.
The directory or folder must only contain .mov files for it to work.
Can be used as base template for other video file conversions.
