🚀 Quick Start

Basic Compliance Check

# Check if your videos meet content delivery standards
mp4converter --dir ~/Videos --compliance

# Example output:
# ✅ Compliant Files: 8 (80%)
# ❌ Non-Compliant Files: 2 (20%)
# 📊 Average Compliance Score: 92/100

Fix Non-Compliant Videos

# Automatically fix videos to meet standards (PCM audio, H.264 video)
mp4converter --dir ~/Videos --compliance --convert

# Files are saved to ~/Videos/H264/ with original names
# Original files are never modified

📚 Tutorials & Examples

Tutorial 1: Professional Content Delivery Preparation

Scenario: You have a folder of tutorial videos that need to meet professional content delivery standards for online platforms.

# Step 1: Analyze your videos
mp4converter --dir ~/my-course-videos --compliance

# Step 2: Review the compliance report
# Look for:
# - Audio codec issues (should be PCM for maximum quality)
# - Resolution problems (should be 1080p or 720p)
# - Frame rate issues (should be standard rates like 30fps)

# Step 3: Fix all non-compliant videos
mp4converter --dir ~/my-course-videos --compliance --convert --verbose

# Result: All videos now have:
# ✅ H.264 video codec (universally compatible)
# ✅ PCM audio (maximum quality, DaVinci Resolve compatible)
# ✅ Standard resolutions (1080p/720p)
# ✅ Proper frame rates

Tutorial 2: DaVinci Resolve Linux Workflow

Scenario: Preparing videos for editing in DaVinci Resolve on Linux (which requires PCM audio).

# Problem: DaVinci Resolve on Linux doesn't work well with AAC audio
# Solution: Convert to PCM audio format

# Step 1: Check current audio codecs
mp4converter --dir ~/raw-footage --compliance | grep -A5 "Audio Codec"

# Step 2: Convert all videos to use PCM audio
mp4converter --dir ~/raw-footage --convert --verbose

# Step 3: Verify conversion
mp4converter --dir ~/raw-footage/H264 --compliance

# You should see:
# Audio Codec Distribution:
#   • 12 videos using pcm_s24le  (24-bit PCM - perfect for DaVinci!)

Tutorial 3: Batch Processing for Content Creators

Scenario: You're a content creator with videos from different sources (OBS, screen recordings, phone videos).

# Process an entire project directory
cd ~/content/youtube-project

# Step 1: Get a detailed analysis
mp4converter --dir . --compliance --verbose

# Step 2: Convert only non-compliant files
mp4converter --dir . --compliance --convert

# The tool will:
# - Skip already compliant files (saves time)
# - Fix audio to PCM for maximum quality
# - Standardize resolutions
# - Preserve original files
# - Keep original filenames in H264 folder

Tutorial 4: Quality Assurance Pipeline

Scenario: Ensure all videos in a production pipeline meet quality standards.

# Create a simple QA script
cat > check_videos.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
echo "🎬 Video QA Pipeline"
echo "===================="

# Check compliance
mp4converter --dir ./uploads --compliance > compliance_report.txt

# Extract score
SCORE=$(grep "Average Compliance Score" compliance_report.txt | grep -o '[0-9]*')

# Fail if score is below 90
if [ "$SCORE" -lt "90" ]; then
    echo "❌ Videos don't meet quality standards (Score: $SCORE/100)"
    echo "🔧 Attempting automatic fixes..."
    mp4converter --dir ./uploads --convert --compliance
    exit 1
else
    echo "✅ All videos meet quality standards (Score: $SCORE/100)"
fi
EOF

chmod +x check_videos.sh
./check_videos.sh

📖 Understanding Compliance Scores

The compliance scoring system (0-100) evaluates videos based on:

Score Range	Status	Meaning
90-100	✅ COMPLIANT	Ready for professional delivery
70-89	🟡 MOSTLY COMPLIANT	Minor issues, may work but not optimal
50-69	🟠 PARTIALLY COMPLIANT	Significant issues, needs fixes
0-49	🔴 NON-COMPLIANT	Major issues, requires conversion

Violation Severity Levels

🔴 Critical: Must be fixed (wrong codec, unsupported format)
🟡 Warning: Should be fixed (non-standard resolution, frame rate)
🔵 Info: Nice to fix (audio codec preference, optimization)

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

Installation Issues

Command not found after installation

# If installed via cargo, add to PATH:
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

# If installed via make, add to PATH:
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Conversion Issues

"NVIDIA GPU not detected" or conversion fails

# The tool will fall back to CPU encoding if GPU is not available
# To check if NVIDIA GPU is available:
nvidia-smi

# If you don't have NVIDIA GPU, conversions will still work but slower
# The tool automatically detects and uses available hardware

"FFmpeg error" during conversion

# Ensure FFmpeg is installed:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg  # Ubuntu/Debian
brew install ffmpeg                          # macOS

# Verify FFmpeg installation:
ffmpeg -version

"No videos found" error

# Check supported formats (MP4, AVI, MOV):
ls -la *.{mp4,avi,mov} 2>/dev/null

# Note: The tool is case-sensitive for extensions
# Rename if needed:
for f in *.MP4; do mv "$f" "${f%.MP4}.mp4"; done

Audio Issues

DaVinci Resolve still can't read audio

# Verify the audio is PCM:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams a:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name your_video.mp4

# Should show: codec_name=pcm_s24le
# If not, re-run conversion:
mp4converter --dir . --convert --compliance

Audio sync issues after conversion

# This is rare but can happen with variable frame rate videos
# Solution: Ensure constant frame rate during recording
# OBS Settings: Settings → Video → FPS: 30 (not VFR)

Performance Issues

Conversion is very slow

# Without GPU acceleration, conversion uses CPU
# Tips to speed up:
# 1. Close other applications
# 2. Process fewer files at once
# 3. Consider upgrading to a system with NVIDIA GPU

# Check system resources:
htop  # or top

Out of disk space during conversion

# Check available space:
df -h .

# Converted files can be large (PCM audio is uncompressed)
# Rule of thumb: Need 2x the size of original videos
# Solution: Free up space or use external drive

FAQ

Q: Why PCM audio instead of AAC? A: PCM provides lossless audio quality and is required for DaVinci Resolve on Linux. It's the professional standard for content delivery.

Q: Can I use this without an NVIDIA GPU? A: Yes! The tool will automatically use CPU encoding if GPU is not available. It's slower but works perfectly.

Q: Will this reduce my video quality? A: No, the tool uses high-quality encoding settings (CQ 18) that maintain near-lossless quality.

Q: Why are my converted files larger? A: PCM audio is uncompressed, making files larger but maintaining perfect audio quality. This is ideal for editing and professional delivery.
