8mb-encoder

Batch scripts based on Aomenc, FFMPEG, and MKVToolNix to create the highest quality videos under 8MB

Required downloads

Place all of the following executables in the tools directory

• https://ci.appveyor.com/project/f11894/aom/build/artifacts

  • aom_vmaf > model
  • aom_vmaf > aomenc.exe

• https://www.fosshub.com/MKVToolNix.html

  • Windows portable 64bit > mkvtoolnix > mkvmerge.exe

• https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

  • Download Build > bin > ffmpeg.exe
  • Download Build > bin > ffprobe.exe

Usage

There are 3 ways to use the encode.bat

• Drag your file on encode.bat
• Run encode.bat <filename> in cmd where <filename> the name of your video file
• Name your file source.mkv and run encode.bat by double clicking or via cmd

Notes

• Muxing with MKVToolNix is not necessary but results in a smaller webm or mkv than ffmpeg
• webm is generally smaller than mkv

TODO

• Once merging, if not past limit, keep re-encoding audio with higher bitrate until larger than 8MB to fill the rest of the space
  • Increase by 100bps increments
