FFmpeg can be used to convert a huge WAV file into a tiny MP3 file that allows the user to listen to the same song but downloading just a portion of the original size of the WAV file. As with everything in our blog, you will find the solution right away so you can immediately use it in your own projects. The command to convert WAV to MP3 with a good relation between quality and size can be breakdown like this:.
Doing this with FFmpeg can be useful if you are thinking of the automation of some kind of platform that allows users to upload music in WAV format, but instead of serving the RAW WAV files, the transferred file to listen online will be MP3 instead. Credit to this StackOverflow answer. This one-liner will find recursively all. Initially, an mp3 subdirectory is made, then ffmpeg receives the opus file via the quoted curly braces as an input.
It converts it using our parameters and names the output file by switching the extension for mp3. This workflow meant I could convert all of the opus files I had. Using it for other file types is also an improvement on my previous Audacity macro approach. Thanks for writing this up! I was just working on a similar project and your solution worked really well for me.
Made me also think that if replay gain was stored in the tags not sure if this happens but I think it might but lost in the conversion, the result could sound different due to loudness level.
It also shows the name of of video correctly as shown in open source. The available format streams are shown. I do not know the directory where the video is located. It is not clearly shown on source code. Trying to recall a tool to find it in the source code. So I am not really an expert on youtube-dl but I do know it supports more sites than just Youtube so it might be good enough.
The -F flag may not be what you are after however as that lists the available formats, not videos. A quick guide to using FFmpeg to convert media files Opensource. FFmpeg is a great tool for quickly changing an AV file's format or quality, extracting audio, creating GIFs, and more.
Image credits :. Get the highlights in your inbox every week. Media files At a very high-level view, a media file is broken up into a container and its streams. Basic conversion The thing that trips up most people when it comes to converting audio and video is selecting the correct formats and containers. This also works with videos: ffmpeg -i input. This means the command: ffmpeg -i input. Selecting your codecs So what do you do when you want to use a container like Matroska which can handle almost any stream but still influence which codecs are in the output?
For example, to set the audio stream to be Vorbis, you would use the following command: ffmpeg -i input. Changing a single stream More often than you'd like, the file you have is partially correct with only a single stream in the wrong format. FFmpeg can help with this situation: ffmpeg -i input. Changing a container The prior example can be applied to both the audio and video streams, allowing you to convert from one container format to another without having to do any additional stream encoding: ffmpeg -i input.
For example, to change the bitrate of the video, you would use it like this: ffmpeg -i input. Another way we can impact quality is to adjust the frame rate of the video using the -r option: ffmpeg -i input. The simplest way is to use a predetermined video size: ffmpeg -i input. Modifying the streams Often you have a file that is almost perfect, and you just need to trim a few parts off.
This can be done more easily with a tool that shows you what you're changing, but if you know exactly where you want it trimmed, it is very easy to do it in FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.
Extracting the audio Sometimes you don't really care about the video, you just want the audio. Luckily this is very straightforward in FFmpeg with the -vn flag: ffmpeg -i input. For all of those: ffmpeg -i input. Grabbing videos from YouTube It can be very easy to upload something to YouTube , lose the original source video, and have only the YouTube version remaining.
Getting info about the media Sometimes all you need to know is what's inside the media container. And more Topics Video editing. Audio and music. About the author. He also spent a More about me.

The ffmpeg code that I'm using does work I can encode individual file but I haven't figured out how to batch encode the entire directory. The accepted answer in the question you're referring to uses additional unnecessary processes, legacy code, and doesn't prevent globbing or word splitting. See the second answer which is shorter, simpler, and more efficient:. I think you can achieve what you need with my ffmpeg Windows front-end, where you can easily select output destination folder.
It adds to ffmpeg a window fashion interface, progress bars and time remaining info, features I always missed when using ffmpeg. If one needs to reformat the codec and wishes to keep the same title and save in the same extension it must be saved into another folder. Start the ffmpeg command from the location of the original files. Navigate to that different folder and copy the entire location from the address bar and paste it exactly as is at the beginning of the output name. For this there must be " " around the whole output address.
