Simplify Your Workflow: Command-Line Variables in FFmpeg Batch Files: For FFmpeg users, efficiency is key. Instead of writing a new script for each video file and encoding parameter, you can use command-line variables to streamline your workflow. Command-line variables act as placeholders in your script, allowing you to input different file names and settings directly from the command line. For example, rather than creating separate scripts for encoding input.mp4 with x.264 at 5 Mbps and a GOP of 60 frames, you can write a single script and pass these parameters via a simple command line. Instead of creating 100 scripts, you create one script and run it with a 100-line batch file. This approach saves time and ensures consistency across all your encoding tasks.

It's ironic, because this would be 1000x more complex in Powershell. Batch files are so simple.
