video – Dynamically change a file name when using FFmpeg
I am currently trying to compress all of my video files (anywhere between 30GB and 500GB) and i have found out a way to get the batch file to run it for all of my files in a folder but it keeps giving me back ‘this file already exists overwrite?[y/N]
‘ however even if I press yes (i will be deleting the original files anyway) it will not allow me to do so as it cannot write to a file from the same file. I currently have this as my code
@echo off
set 0=compressed
for %%i in (*.mkv, *.mp4, *.mov) do ffmpeg -i "%%i" -vcodec libx265 -crf 24 "%%i%0.mp4"
though when i have %%i.mp4
or %%~ni.mp4
it will not change the output name to anything else. however I need it to
also as a side question how can i get ffmpeg to see subfolders too and not just the folder it is in?
