Awesome!

Other video tools (besides ffmpeg):

https://www.mltframework.org/ (lightweight LGPL C99 perhaps similar to OP)

http://www.emmgunn.com/ (mac VIDEOtoolbox), https://subler.org/ (mac mp4)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/ (windows, recommended for SD sources)

https://github.com/stax76/staxrip (windows, a better handbrake)

Further pointers to similar tools are appreciated! Grabbed several of these from this awesome discussion of a weak article on Handbrake: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13492646 (Jan 2017, 59 comments)

PS. Also looking for pros/cons/alternatives re: print LUT http://juanmelara.com.au/print-film-emulation-luts-for-downl... and histogram equalization http://docs.opencv.org/3.1.0/d5/daf/tutorial_py_histogram_eq...

This seems more like pipe-based processing for multimedia than AWK-based. I don't see what AWK does in relation to this that any good UNIX-y utility that is pipe-friendly is doing (grep, sed, etc).

I was completely prepared to gush about how much I love AWK. I suppose that can wait for another day

Thanks for sharing all of these tools! Do you happen to know if any of these can write metadata to mp4 or mov files that will be recognized by Mac/iOS Photos?

I've been trying to write location, camera, date, etc. to encoded videos, but Photos won't recognize anything except files straight off an iPhone. The closest thing I've found is that ffmpeg can write Quicktime tags and the structure looks identical to me when I view it in exiftool, but Photos still doesn't respect it, so I assume there's some minute difference that breaks Photos' parsing.

This reminds me of AWK Music http://kmkeen.com/awk-music/

> Using the fifth root gives five intervals for each octave, a pentatonic scale. Why five notes? It is really easy to make something that sounds good in the pentatonic scale and really hard for a pair of notes to be dissonant.

Wait a minute! Is the five-note equal-division of the octave really one of those scales that "just sound good"? It's definitely not the same scale as the example he links to.
