This Bash script analyzes video files in the current directory to provide insights on codecs, helping you optimize your video encoding process.
- 💡 Codec Analysis: Determine the best and worst codecs based on video duration.
- 📊 Common Codec Analysis: Identify the most common codec among your video files.
- Ensure you have
ffprobeinstalled. - Simply run the script in your video directory:
./video_codec_analyzer.sh
