Re: Converting with FFMPEG, parallel, and allowing huge files
Reply #2 –
Secondly, when using the --bar option with parallel, if I don't pass --loglevel info (the default) to ffmpeg it seems to hang on me. As well I get a lot of extra, well, info that i don't want. I don't assume there is a way to get ffmpeg to go quiet and get a progress from parallel? It almost seems that parallel is reading it's progress based on the ffmpeg output, which doesn't make any sense to me.
Add something like
-nostats -loglevel 0
to ffmpeg cli. Also looking at some scripts I seem to have this at the ffmpeg end
</dev/null
# </dev/null is some sort of null input, so that script will work when in bg as well
