Using Linux File Manager Right-Click Menus to Quickly run Scripts

This video will show how to link any bash script file to a right-click menu on Linux, by creating a .desktop file. I’m using it to select a few .mp4 video files, and then to batch convert their AAC audio codec to PCM audio codec. But you can link any script file that you want to use on your files.

I also explain how to change the context so that the script would only show in the menu for a particular MIME type e.g. video, audio, text, etc files.

I intended this to work for DaVinci Resolve as it does not support the decoding of AAC audio codecs at all on Linux (free or paid version). At the end of this video, I demonstrate how I can now quickly convert any video with AAC audio codecs, within a few seconds, from “inside” DaVinci Resolve.

The bash script file has been modified, after I recorded the video, to now handle single or multiple audio track conversions.

Working with MP4 H264 in DaVinci Resolve on Linux

DaVinci Resolve for Linux free edition does not import or export any H.264 or H.265 codec files (whether in a MP4, HKV, or MOV container) nor does it work with AAC at all (The $299 Studio version only handles the H.264 and H.265 video codecs but not the AAC audio codec). This is said to be a Linux licensing issue, so will not be receiving support on the free version of DaVinci Resolve.

I explain in this video how two batch files will help convert any MP4 from cameras or other sources into ready to import straight into DaVinci Resolve on Linux. The second batch files transcodes the massive Quicktime file that DaVinci Resolve renders, into a smaller, universally compatible, and easier to MP4 file to share or upload to YouTube.

The video ends off by explaining how to otherwise import the DaVinci Resolve woking project into a Windows version of DaVinci Resolve, to render it using the free Windows edition which will render to H.264 or H.265.
