Video Scripts

This repo contains various scripts I use to manage my video files.

Scripts:

  • HandbrakeScript

    • This is the main script which is based off a script by Rocketcandy I can no longer find the source of (will link if I ever find it again) I found it. which I've edited to use PSEverything and the Everything service to quickly gather a PowerShell object of all video files in the listed directory.
    • Once it has said list, it will use FFprobe to check if the file is already HEVC encoded before proceeding to use HandBrake with either the default presets from a GUI install or my own presets I've packaged in this repo.
    • -DelCSV flag to recreate the ConversionsCompleted.csv
    • Usage: .\HandbrakeScript.ps1 -Path "everything search term" (optional: -DelCSV)
    • Example: .\HandbrakeScript.ps1 -DelCSV -Path "<The Flash> <S01|S02|S03>"

  • HEVCCheck

    • Based on the HandbrakeScript, but slimmed down to not actually encode anything, it is used as a way to quickly see what needs encoding before running the main script. You could also edit it for your own needs. (-DelCSV flag to recreate the HEVCCheck.csv)
    • Usage: .\HEVCCheck.ps1 -Path "everything search term" (optional: -DelCSV)
    • Example: .\HEVCCheck.ps1 -Path "<Stranger Things>|<Brooklyn Nine-Nine>"

Output:

  • Once either HandbrakeScript or HEVCCheck is ran, a CSV file will be created.
  • ConversionsCompleted.csv
    • Contains a list of completed conversions, obviously.
  • HEVCCheck.csv
    • Contains a list of files which have yet to be converted. Editing the loop from line 48 in HEVCCheck, would be recommended if different results are needed.
  • Both files are formatted the same. Codec, Height, Filename, Bitrate This makes it easier for me to see if any shows or movies are lower quality than I'd like.

MKVTool Scripts:

  • mergeMKV

    • Also based on the HandbrakeScript but it's usecase is for for switching default tracks in multi-sub/dual audio anime releases, fixing und language sub tracks and removing all subtitle tracks from a file.
    • However it could be used for basically anything mkvmerge can do (-MKVMergeArgs flag allows manual parsing of options to mkvmerge).
    • The -DelSubs switch is used to remove all subtitles from a file (-S flag) and can be used alongside -Audio, but is useless when mixed with -Subs.
    • The -Lang flag can be used to fix undefined subtitle tracks by forcing a language tag for all sub tracks (ja/jap/en/eng) (Generally subtitle tracks are undefined if there is only one, however YMMV)
    • This script also partially works on mp4 files, but only for the -DelSubs option
    • Usage: .\mergeMKV.ps1 -Path "everything search term" (optional: -DelSubs, -Subs TrackName, -Audio LanguageTag -Lang LanguageTag)
    • Example: .\mergeMKV.ps1 -Path "Tower.of.God S01E02" -Subs Dialogue -Audio jpn -Lang ja

  • MKVCheck

    • A simple script like HEVCCheck, however it's primary usecase is to quickly list all tracks (excluding video tracks) of a video file
    • The script will list the filename, track ID, track name, track language, and track type and output them as a csv in the terminal as well as save them to MKVCheck.csv.
    • Usage: .\MKVCheck.ps1 -Path "everything search term"

Output:

  • [mergeMKV] Once a file is merged/muxed, the original will be deleted and the new will be renamed, if mkvmerge encounters any errors or warnings, the new file will be deleted and the original kept instead.
  • [MKVCheck] Will create MKVCheck.csv and output a csv object to the terminal
