[FFmpeg-user] HELP !

[pkv.stream]

Hi Nicolas,
since you seem to be using a windows platform I would suggest that 
instead of using ffmpeg and batch commands which seem a bit remote for 
you given your background , you turn to more user-friendly solutions 
like Handbrake where you can batch encode.
https://handbrake.fr/
google gave me this tutorial for isntance
http://www.howtogeek.com/199993/converting-videos-by-the-batch-with-handbrake/

You have presets which you can select to suit the destination you want 
(a smartphone ?)

The h.264 encoder used is x264 as in ffmpeg.
  best
