Removing some Video Nodes

reven

I'm going to start removing some video nodes and focus on the FFMPEG Builder nodes.

I will be moving these nodes into a new plugin, something like "Video Nodes (Legacy)" "Video Nodes (Obsolete)".

Then for upgrades, I'll have it automatically download this new plugin so your flows still work.

But for clean installs, this plugin will not be included.

Then I will phase that plugin out and remove it altogether.

This will give people time to upgrade their flows and simplify things in general.

Sounds like a plan. There's a lot of redundant nodes already now the FFMPEG Builder in play...

One problem I see with this and perhaps there is also something in place to handle this. right now I do not see a reasonable way to appropriately automate multiple audio tracks in fileflows for foreign movies using ffmpeg builder as it's still somewhat limited.

Example - Movie "A" has the following audio tracks in it...

English DTS
Japanese DTS
Arabic DTS
Swedish DTS

In FFMPEG Builder there is no option to (at the vey least) transcode all audio tracks to something like EAC3. or even better an option to not only transcode all audio tracks but to optionally transcode just english and japanese tracks and discard the rest. A primary use case for this would be something like anime where you may want both the english and japanese audio tracks. Or in the case of foreign movies in general, you may want the english audio track and whatever the original language audio track may be...which can be one of any language on earth. That's doable with a custom FFMPEG string but not currently with the FFMPEG builder options as far as I can see...perhaps I'm just missing it.
