hbr VS pcopy

I wrote hbr (handbrake runner) [0]. It takes a global config, a per-file config, and individual outfile sections then calls HandBrakeCLI to encode video. I use it to encode movies/series from optical media.

Additionally there is hbscan.py to generate a list of potential outfiles from handbrake's --scan argument. One day I'd like to integrate it with hbr (in C) using peg/leg [1]. Currently using pyparsing.

This is still a lot of manual work, but it saves doing it twice. When you find a mistake in an encode there's a log with the file, and it's easy to go back and modify the keyfile and re-encode it.

I wrote handbrake runner. It takes a plaintext (glib) keyfile and runs HandBrakeCLI repeatedly to encode video. I use it for my dvd/bd collection. It has a support script (hbscan.py) to build keyfile templates from handbrake's scan of dvd titles.

nopaste/pcopy, that you can selfhost. Just a single binary file.

Heyy I made a thing like that. https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

And another one here:https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy (same, see server.go)

I host a version of it on https://nopaste.net

re 1: as fellow gopher has said, `io.CopyN` is your friend, though I have recently implemented a similar thing that may be interesting to you. I implemented a `Peak()` method that will read up to N bytes and return a reader that can be read as if it's the original reader, but you'll be able to get the `PeakedBytes` from it too: https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/master/util/peak.go

Since we're listing alternatives, here's the one I made: https://nopaste.net -- It's open source and available on https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

curl usage is available via: "curl nopaste.net".

I have an issue on github (https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/issues/20) to "modernize" the JS code a little, i.e. use "class"es, modules, strict mode, consts, exports, ...

If you want to see them implemented, see https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/284b6502fa736951b4ace0dfc62152ff707639ae/server.go
