This project aims to reduce the spaces of your videos and audios encoding it on hevc
.
The answer is easy. I have a lot old-movies/videos and music/audios taking a lot of space in the hard-drive.
So I'm always short on disk space, the by accident discover de hevc
codec. when i need to shrink a video of 3GB
to upload it to Telegram
, the convertion take my 3GB movie and returned a 300 MB with the same quality 😱. So I
decided that I would convert all my video and audio files , but they are a lot, so I build this tool for it.

$ pip install video-diet
In order to run the project you must install ffmpeg
.
In any linux machine you can get it from your favorite package manager.
For arch:
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
For Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Download a windows ffmpeg build here https://ffmpeg.org/download.html. Unzip it and change the folder name to FFmpeg
. Copy the folder into C:\
and then add the path C:\FFmpeg\bin
to the enviroment variables of the system.
To check correct instalation open a new instance of cmd and type:
ffmpeg --version`.
video-diet file test.mp4
This option conserve the original file
video-diet folder ~/Videos
This option replaces the original file for the converted files
video-diet folder ~/Videos --ignore-extension .mp4
This option ignores all the .mp4 files on ~/Videos
video-diet folder ~/Videos --ignore-path ~/Videos/subfolder
This option ignores all the files on ~/Videos/subfolder
The video conversion can take some time. Depending on the original video properties; the conversion time can be longer than the video.
Poetry provides a custom installer that will install poetry
isolated from the rest of your system by vendorizing its dependencies. This is the recommended way of installing poetry
.
osx / linux / bashonwindows install instructions
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
windows powershell install instructions
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python
The installer installs the poetry
tool to Poetry's bin
directory. On Unix it is located at $HOME/.poetry/bin
and on Windows at %USERPROFILE%\.poetry\bin
.
This directory will be in your $PATH
environment variable, which means you can run them from the shell without further configuration.
Inside the project make poetry install
and after poetry shell
for start the virtualenv.
For testing the code run video-diet
.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
Good luck 😉.
