ffmpg-convert

Quick and dirty conversion to mp3.

convert takes an arbitrary input format (e.g. ogg) from a selected input directory; and saves it to the selected output directory in mp3 format.

Input files will not be touched -- removed, renamed, deleted, etc. The script merely creates a transcoded copy in the desired output directory.

Usage

convert </input/path> </output/path> <ext>

• </input/path> is the full or relative path where the input file(s) are
• </output/path> is the full or relative path you wish to save file(s)
• is the three-character file extension (e.g. "mp4")

TODO

List of things I should probably do at some point:

• Select arbitrary output format / codec

Prerequisites / Notes

This is written against ffmpeg 3.3.4 (specifically on MX Linux), and has only been tested on said system.

There may be other prereqs / codecs that I'm not considering as they slipped in as part of a metapackage (sorry!)
