Ive spent days trying to mix and mash commands together to try and find a working solution. i have 2 preset .json files(from the GUI version on windows) to convert mkv to mp4.

  1. converts to h264 and adds subtitle 1
  2. converts to h264 i'm only trying to get no.2 to work at this stage.

for i in `*.mkv`; do HandBrakeCLI --preset-import-file HPRESET.json -Z "MYPRESET" --output *.mp4; done no output name

HandBrakeCLI -i $1 --preset-import-gui HPRESET.json -Z "MYPRESET" --output $1.mp4

errors on output name

for i in `*.mkv`; do HandBrakeCLI --title $i --preset "Very Fast 1080p30" --output *.mp4; done

errors on output name AND not valid preset.

$ for i in `seq 4`; do HandBrakeCLI --input /dev/dvd --title $i --preset Normal --output NameOfDisc_Title$i.mp4; done copied this from another stackoverflow question, but outputs as 1.mp4 and then 2.mp4 etc.

i dont care if anyone knows how to get this sorted for handbrake or ffmpeg but its doing my head in. any help will be greatly appreciated.
