media tools

This images contains many media cli tools

Why

These tools are not available for the main part on a Synology NAS but I do want to use them there so I made an image and exposed a few volumes to make them work as my NAS does support docker.

and just because I can :-)

What

This images contains the following tools:

• handbrake-cli
• mkvtoolnix toolset
• ffmpeg
• melt
• mencoder
• atomicparsley

Examples

docker run \
   --rm \
   -v "$(pwd):/input:ro" \
   -v "$(pwd):/output:rw" \
   ivonet/mediatools:latest \
   -i "/input/The.BFG.2016.mkv" \
   -o "/output/The.BFG.2016.m4v" \
   -e x264  -q 20.0 -r 30 --pfr  -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R Auto -D 0.0 \
   --audio-copy-mask aac,ac3,dtshd,dts,mp3 --audio-fallback ffac3 -f mp4 \
   -X 1280 -Y 720 --loose-anamorphic --modulus 2 -m \
   --x264-preset medium --h264-profile high --h264-level 3.1
