A simple script to encode 4K HDR content using ffmpeg
For a more in-depth explanation of this script and its options, please visit this post
ffmpeg 3.x/4.x with libx265 configured. For more detail, Iḿ going to share my config (as enabled by my Linux distribution):

I have updated this project to also include support for ffmpeg 4.x
I have simplified things: I doon't worry about audio tracks anymore, I just focus on encoding the video track. When done, I just join all needed tracks using MKVToolNix. This is a far more flexible approach.
