Make h264 mp4 video loop from gif looping it 4 times (fix if width / height aren't divisible by 2)

Make a 5 second h264 mp4 video from static images with resize


for i in *.*; do ffmpeg.exe -loop 1 -t 5 -i $i -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=-2:1080" -q:v 0 $i.mp4 -y; done #static_resize


Make a 5 second h264 mp4 video from static images no resize (fix if width / height aren't divisible by 2)
