I'm new in programming, I have some movies and want to convert them to hevc format to reduce storage space but keep quality video, i tried with my code through ffmpeg:

**for %b in (*.mp4) DO ffmpeg -y -i "%b" -r 30 -g 50000 -q 22 -filter:v scale=650:-1 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -b:a 320k -ar 96000 -f hevc -pix_fmt yuv420p -b:v 10500k -strict experimental -shortest -x264-params -lossless 1 -tag:v hvc1 -movflags +faststart -threads 4 "output\%%~nb.hevc

Raw in pastebin

(The directory I tested: secufiles! )

I tried changing a lot of code but the result is still the same, the video only has images without sound, ffmpeg says me: "-qscale is ignored, -crf is recommended.", Please help me Or give me an idea for this code.

I am really grateful for any help from you.

Thank you very much.

There is so much wrong with your command that it would take too long to list every issue. It will be simplest to just provide a corrected command:

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx265 -crf 28 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -filter:v "scale=650:-2,format=yuv420p" -tag:v hvc1 -movflags +faststart output.mp4

  • If the input audio is already AAC consider stream copying with -c:a copy instead of re-encoding.

  • Depending on the input format this may not be worth the time, energy, and effort. Results may not be satisfactory if you are re-encoding lossy content. The artifacts present in the input can complicate the compression and result in a higher than expected file size and/or lower than expected quality.
