chromecastize
=============
Simple bash script to convert video files into Google Chromecast supported format.
Script identifies video and audio format of given file (using `mediainfo`) and converts it if necessary (using `ffmpeg`).
Filename of output video file is `.mkv` and original video file gets renamed to `.bak`.
Requirements
------------
- `mediainfo`
- `ffmpeg`
Install requirements by running e.g. `apt-get install ffmpeg mediainfo` (Debian) or `brew install ffmpeg mediainfo` (MacOS with Homebrew).
Usage
-----
```
./chromecastize.sh [--mp4 | --mkv] [videofile2 ...]
```
### Examples:
- `./chromecastize.sh /Volumes/MyNAS` - converts all videos on your NAS (assuming that it's mounted to `/Volumes/MyNAS`)
- `./chromecastize.sh Holiday.avi Wedding.avi` - converts specified video files
### Options:
- `--mp4` forces conversion to MPEG-4 container
- `--mkv` forces conversion to Matroska container
