======

Modify Movies with ease using a collection of single task scripts

# Features

- Very easy to use, zero configuration required

- Clearly defined tasks that do not require an in-depth knowledge of movie tools

- Focus on WHAT you want to do, not HOW you might need to do it

- Most tasks can execute for every movie in a folder, or on a single file

- Remember just one command to modify your movies with ease: modmov

# Tasks

All tasks can be called using the same `modmov` bash script.

- Chapters - Add a list of chapters to an mkv

- Compress - Compress the bitrate of any mkv or mp4

- Concat - Concatenate all given movies into a single mp4

- Defaults - Set the default audio/subtitle track for multiple mkvs

- Extract - Extract a streamable mp4 from any mkv or mp4

- Merge - Merge mkv/mp4 files with srt/ass/ssa/mks/sub subtitles to mkv (muxing)

- Lint - Check for common errors in movie files by running a set of linters

The project is developed exclusively for Linux, although it might also work on Mac.

# Usage

Run `./modmov` without any arguments for help and usage details.

For every task, the following information is presented:

- A brief summary of it's function (also see the list above)

- If the original files will be modified or if a copy will be made (and where)

- The accepted movie input file types

- Additional software that you will need to install on you system (for example ffmpeg)

In short, most tasks are used like this: `./modmov  `

To use modmov everywhere on your system, simply create an alias to the bash script.

# Structure

Modmov is essentially a wrapper for more complex movie processing tools.

The tasks are separated into python scripts and are called by the modmov bash script.

The help output of modmov includes a list of the required tools for all the tasks.

The python scripts use subprocess to call ffmpeg/mkvtoolnix commands.

These tools are not included in this project and are covered by different licenses.

# Future

Each time I run into a movie processing related issue or challenge,

the modmov script collection will be expanded with a simplified task to solve it.

This way I do not have to remember a billion different configurations for specific tooling.

You are welcome to add your own specific movie related task to this repository via a PR.
