An honest update

The Penguin S01 | Ffmpeg

After years of building 500apps, we made a hard decision — to stop spreading thin across 50 products and go all-in on one platform that does what all of them were trying to do.

500agents is that platform. And we want you with us.

The Penguin S01 | Ffmpeg

# Step 1: Extract RPU dovi_tool -m 2 extract-rpu input.hevc ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libx265 ... -f hevc - | dovi_tool inject-rpu -i - --rpu-in RPU.bin -o output.hevc

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0:a:0 -c:a copy atmos.thd # keep TrueHD ffmpeg -i atmos.thd -c:a eac3 -b:a 768k atmos.eac3 # create DD+ for compatibility For lossy but efficient: -c:a libopus -b:a 192k -vbr on -application audio Using a simple bash loop: the penguin s01 ffmpeg

For release groups: automate with mkvmerge for chapter/subs passthrough and dovi_tool for Dolby Vision. For home users: tdarr or unmanic can integrate these FFmpeg commands into a watch folder. # Step 1: Extract RPU dovi_tool -m 2 extract-rpu input
