-## Technical Summary
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Planned Additions
+------------------------------------------------------------

-### Conversion Logic
- Uses FFmpeg with explicit input and output flags:
-  ```
-  ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i "input" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 192k -movflags +faststart "output"
-  ```
- `-fflags +genpts` regenerates presentation timestamps (avoids "Non-monotonic DTS" errors).
- Re-encoding ensures compatibility and stable playback.
+convert-batch - Convert every video in a folder automatically.
+upscale-video - Upscale videos to 720p, 1080p, or 4K using lanczos or ML-based filters.
+compress-video - Recompress MP4s with HEVC (H.265) or AV1 for reduced size.
+video-compare - Compare bitrate, resolution, and encoding stats between two files.
+auto-fix - Automatically repair timestamps or rotation metadata before encoding.

-### File Safety
- Original files are untouched.
- All intermediate list files are removed automatically.
- FFmpeg handles SIGINT (Ctrl+C) gracefully—partially written files are still playable.
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Technical Summary
+------------------------------------------------------------

---
+Conversion Logic:
+ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i "input" \
+-c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow \
+-c:a aac -b:a 192k -movflags +faststart "output"

+Notes:
+- -fflags +genpts regenerates presentation timestamps (avoids "Non-monotonic DTS" errors).
+- Modern codecs ensure full compatibility and efficient compression.
+- Re-encoding avoids playback issues caused by legacy container formats.
+
+File Safety:
+- Original files remain untouched.
+- All intermediate concat lists are deleted automatically.
+- FFmpeg handles SIGINT (Ctrl+C) safely — partial outputs remain playable.

+Conversion Settings (v0.1.2)

-This file documents the default FFmpeg parameters used in `video-tools.sh` and explains why they are chosen.
+This file documents the default FFmpeg parameters used in video-tools.sh and explains why they are chosen.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Output Format
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Output Format
 All conversions produce:
-```
 Format: MP4
 Container: MPEG-4 Part 14
 Video Codec: H.264 (libx264)
 Audio Codec: AAC
-```

-MP4 was chosen because:
- It’s universally supported across modern devices.
- It balances size and compatibility well.
- H.264 encoding provides excellent quality at smaller bitrates.
+Why MP4:
+- Universally supported across modern devices.
+- Balances quality, compression, and compatibility.
+- H.264 encoding provides excellent visual quality at modest bitrates.
+- AAC audio ensures consistent playback on all major systems including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Default Parameters
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Default Parameters
+Parameter: -c:v libx264
+Purpose: H.264 video encoding (modern, efficient, hardware-accelerated)

-| Parameter | Value | Purpose |
-|------------|--------|----------|
-| `-c:v libx264` | H.264 video encoding | Modern, efficient codec with wide hardware support |
-| `-crf 18` | Constant Rate Factor | Maintains near-lossless visual quality; lower = better |
-| `-preset slow` | Encoding preset | Improves compression efficiency; trades some speed |
-| `-c:a aac` | Audio codec | Standard high-quality stereo audio |
-| `-b:a 192k` | Audio bitrate | Balances fidelity and file size |
-| `-movflags +faststart` | MP4 optimization | Enables faster playback start in players or web streams |
-| `-fflags +genpts` | Timestamp repair | Regenerates timestamps on older AVI/MPEG inputs |
+Parameter: -crf 18
+Purpose: Constant Rate Factor for near-lossless quality (lower = higher quality)

---
+Parameter: -preset slow
+Purpose: Improves compression efficiency at moderate CPU cost

-## Quality vs. File Size
+Parameter: -c:a aac
+Purpose: High-quality audio encoding compatible with most players

-The CRF scale (used by FFmpeg) defines quality and compression balance:
+Parameter: -b:a 192k
+Purpose: Balances clarity and file size

-| CRF | Description | Typical Use |
-|------|-------------|--------------|
-| 14–16 | Near lossless | Archival or professional mastering |
-| 18–20 | High quality | Everyday use, visually lossless |
-| 21–24 | Medium quality | Small file sizes, light compression |
-| 25+ | Low quality | Fast compression, heavy size reduction |
+Parameter: -movflags +faststart
+Purpose: Optimizes MP4 for streaming and faster playback start

-The default of **CRF 18** keeps visual clarity virtually identical to the original while cutting most AVI or MPG files to **40–60% smaller** sizes.
+Parameter: -fflags +genpts
+Purpose: Rebuilds timestamps to prevent sync issues with older containers

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Profile Presets
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Why Preset "slow"
+Default Profile:
+CRF 18
+Preset slow
+Audio 192k
+Balanced for visual clarity and efficient storage.

-The preset defines encoding effort vs. compression efficiency.  
-Options range from `ultrafast` → `veryslow`.
+Hi-Rate Profile (--hi-rate):
+CRF 14
+Preset veryslow
+Audio 320k
+Maximum quality, slower encoding, ideal for archiving or high-bitrate content.

- **slow** provides strong compression without extreme CPU time.
- Encoding speed is roughly 2–3× real-time on a midrange CPU.
- File sizes are typically 10–20% smaller than `medium` preset at the same quality.
+Portable Profile (--portable):
+CRF 24
+Preset faster
+Audio 128k
+Optimized for mobile devices and reduced file sizes.

---
+Each profile automatically adjusts encoding parameters to ensure consistent results without user intervention.

-## Audio Strategy
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Quality vs. File Size
+------------------------------------------------------------

-AAC at 192k is chosen for:
- Wide playback compatibility (phones, TVs, players).
- Transparent stereo sound for most sources.
- Reasonable storage size (~2MB/minute of stereo audio).
+The CRF (Constant Rate Factor) scale controls perceived quality versus compression level.

-If future needs arise, the tool can later support:
- `-c:a copy` for untouched audio streams.
- `-b:a 320k` for high-fidelity preservation.
+CRF 14–16: Near-lossless (archival or studio preservation)
+CRF 18–20: High quality (default visual transparency)
+CRF 21–24: Medium (smaller file size, minimal loss)
+CRF 25+: Low quality (fast encoding, visible artifacts)

---
+Default CRF: 18
+Produces files roughly 40–60 percent smaller than original sources with minimal visible loss.

-## Color Space & Scaling
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Preset Choice
+------------------------------------------------------------

-No scaling is applied by default.  
-The video retains original resolution and color profile.
+Presets define encoding speed versus compression efficiency.
+Range: ultrafast → veryslow

-Upscaling and filtering will be handled in a separate command (`upscale-video`) in future versions, with support for:
- FFmpeg’s `scale` and `zscale` filters.
- `lanczos` resampling (for sharp, clean upscale).
- Optional integration with ML-based models (Real-ESRGAN, waifu2x).
+The preset "slow" was chosen because:
+- Offers a strong balance between speed and compression.
+- Output files are typically 10–20 percent smaller than those encoded at "medium".
+- Encoding speed is roughly two to three times real-time on a midrange CPU.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Audio Strategy
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Future Additions
+AAC at 192k is used for:
+- Transparent stereo audio for most content.
+- Low CPU usage during encoding.
+- Roughly two megabytes per minute of stereo content.

-| Planned Setting | Description |
-|------------------|-------------|
-| `upscale-mode` | Default scaling filter for upscaling tasks |
-| `hevc-mode` | Switch to H.265 (libx265) for smaller files |
-| `audio-pass` | Option to skip audio re-encoding |
-| `config.json` | User-editable file to override default values |
+Future audio options include:
+- -c:a copy to preserve original streams when re-encoding is unnecessary.
+- -b:a 320k for studio-grade sound reproduction.
+- FLAC or PCM support for lossless audio workflows.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Color and Resolution
+------------------------------------------------------------

+No scaling or color adjustments occur unless explicitly requested.
+Source resolution, frame rate, and color space (usually bt709) are preserved.
+
+Future command "upscale-video" will support:
+- FFmpeg scale and zscale filters.
+- Lanczos resampling for high-quality upscales.
+- Optional machine-learning upscalers such as Real-ESRGAN or waifu2x.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Future Additions
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+upscale-mode   Choose default scaling filter for upscaling tasks
+hevc-mode      Switch to H.265 (libx265) for smaller, more efficient files
+audio-pass     Skip audio re-encoding when not needed

+------------------------------------------------------------
+Overview
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Overview
+The tool provides several core commands:

-This tool provides two main commands:
+convert-single      Converts a single video to MP4 using high-quality compression.
+convert-multiple    Combines multiple video clips or discs into one MP4 file.
+videoinfo           Displays technical details such as bitrate, resolution, codecs, and duration.
+videoinfo --verbose Shows full ffprobe metadata for advanced analysis.

-| Command | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `convert-single` | Converts a single video file to MP4 using modern compression. |
-| `convert-multiple` | Combines multiple video files into one high-quality MP4. |
+All converted videos are saved to ~/Videos by default.
+Logs are stored in ~/.local/share/video-tools/logs with ISO timestamps.

-All output files are saved in your `~/Videos` directory by default.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Example Usage
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Example Conversions
+Convert a single file:
+video-tools convert-single "/path/to/input.avi" "output.mp4"

-### Convert a single AVI file
+Merge multiple videos:
+video-tools convert-multiple "/path/to/part1.avi" "/path/to/part2.avi" "combined.mp4"

-```bash
-video-tools convert-single \
-"/run/media/stu/Linux/MyData/Videos/Example Collection/Example Movie Part1.avi" \
-"Example Movie.mp4"
-```
+Check video info:
+video-tools videoinfo "combined.mp4"

-Output:
-```
-/home/stu/Videos/Example Movie.mp4
-```
+Verbose mode:
+video-tools videoinfo "combined.mp4" --verbose

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Conversion Profiles
+------------------------------------------------------------

-### Combine multiple AVI parts into one MP4
+Default:
+CRF 18, preset slow, 192k audio (balanced quality and speed)

-```bash
-video-tools convert-multiple \
-"/run/media/stu/Linux/MyData/Videos/Example Collection/Example Movie Part1.avi" \
-"/run/media/stu/Linux/MyData/Videos/Example Collection/Example Movie Part2.avi" \
-"/run/media/stu/Linux/MyData/Videos/Example Collection/Example Movie Part3.avi" \
-"Example Movie Combined.mp4"
-```
+--hi-rate:
+CRF 14, preset veryslow, 320k audio (maximum quality)

-Output:
-```
-/home/stu/Videos/Example Movie Combined.mp4
-```
+--portable:
+CRF 24, preset faster, 128k audio (mobile optimized)

---
+Profiles can be added after any convert command.

-## Troubleshooting
+Example:
+video-tools convert-single "movie.avi" "movie_high.mp4" --hi-rate

-| Issue | Cause | Solution |
-|--------|--------|----------|
-| `command not found` | Script not in PATH | Use full path or add symlink to `/usr/local/bin` |
-| `ffmpeg not found` | FFmpeg not installed | Install FFmpeg using your package manager |
-| `Permission denied` | Script not executable | Run `chmod +x video-tools.sh` |
-| Merge fails | Input files have mismatched codecs | Convert each input to MP4 first, then merge |
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Troubleshooting
+------------------------------------------------------------

---
+Problem: command not found
+Cause: Script not linked globally
+Fix: Run ./video-tools.sh or create a symlink in /usr/local/bin

-## Roadmap
+Problem: ffmpeg not found
+Cause: FFmpeg not installed
+Fix: Install it using your system package manager

-# Upscale Module (Planned)
+# docs/Upscale.md
+Upscale Module (Planned) - v0.1.2

-The `upscale-video` command will provide loss-minimized video upscaling.
+The upscale-video command will provide high-quality resolution upscaling with minimal visual loss.
+It will begin with traditional FFmpeg filters and later introduce machine learning based upscalers.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Overview
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Overview
-
-This module will allow upscaling of existing videos to higher resolutions such as:
+The goal of this module is to let users upscale existing videos to standardized modern resolutions such as:
 - 720p (HD)
 - 1080p (Full HD)
- 2160p (4K)
+- 2160p (4K UHD)

-It will use FFmpeg’s native scaling filters first and optionally integrate machine learning tools later.
+The first release will use FFmpeg’s built-in scaling filters including lanczos, bicubic, and spline36.
+Future updates will explore GPU and ML-based upscaling options such as Real-ESRGAN and waifu2x.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Planned Syntax
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Planned Syntax
-
-```bash
 video-tools upscale-video <input> <output.mp4> --scale 1920x1080
-```

 Optional parameters:
-```
--scale <WxH>     Set explicit resolution
--filter <name>   Choose scaling filter (lanczos, bicubic, spline36)
--hevc            Encode using H.265 for smaller output
--keep-audio      Copy original audio stream without re-encoding
-```
+--scale <WxH>       Specify custom resolution
+--filter <name>     Choose scaling filter (lanczos, bicubic, spline36, bilinear)
+--hevc              Encode output with H.265 for reduced file size
+--keep-audio        Copy the original audio stream without re-encoding

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Default Behavior
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Default Behavior
+When no scale or filter is provided, the tool will automatically upscale to the next common resolution above the source.

-If no resolution is provided, the tool will upscale intelligently to the nearest standard resolution above the input video.
+Examples:
+Input: 960x540  → Output: 1280x720
+Input: 1280x720 → Output: 1920x1080
+Input: 1440x1080 → Output: 1920x1080

-Example:
- Input: 960×540 → Output: 1280×720
- Input: 1280×720 → Output: 1920×1080
+The tool will retain the same aspect ratio and avoid unnecessary stretching or cropping.

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Technical Notes
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Technical Notes
+Example FFmpeg usage:
+ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 192k output_1080p.mp4

-### FFmpeg Filter Example
+Explanation:
+scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos performs resampling using the Lanczos algorithm for sharp, high-quality results.
+Lanczos minimizes aliasing and ringing while retaining edge detail.
+Future implementations may use zscale for improved color management or GPU-accelerated scaling with CUDA or Vulkan.

-```bash
-ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos \
-c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 192k output_1080p.mp4
-```
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Planned Features
+------------------------------------------------------------

- `scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos` → high-quality resampling
- `lanczos` offers sharp, low-artifact upscale
- Later versions may support `zscale` or ML-based filters
+FFmpeg scaler (lanczos)             Planned
+zscale and bicubic scaling          Planned
+ML-based upscaling (Real-ESRGAN)    Research stage
+Auto-resolution detection           Planned
+GPU acceleration support            Planned
+Configurable quality presets        Planned
+HEVC and AV1 encoder options        Planned
+Batch folder upscaling mode         Planned

---
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Example Future Commands
+------------------------------------------------------------

-## Planned Features
