Instructions for Use

To use this script:

  2. Make sure FFmpeg is installed and available in your system PATH.

  4. Make sure the script is executable using chmod -x hap-encoder.py if using a macOS or Linux system.

python hap-encoder.py input_folder output_folder [--hap-format FORMAT] [--overwrite]

Features:

Processes all MP4 files in the input directory

Creates output directory if it doesn't exist

Preserves original filenames with .mov extension

Supports HAP, HAP Q, and HAP Alpha formats

Skips existing files by default (use --overwrite to force re-encoding)

Provides error reporting for failed conversions

Requirements:

Python 3.6+

FFmpeg with HAP support (most recent versions should work)

Notes

The conversion process can be resource-intensive and time-consuming depending on your hardware and video file sizes. For better performance, you might want to add additional FFmpeg parameters like -threads to utilize more CPU cores.
