# About ffmpeg
|
||||
FFmpeg is a free and open-source software project consisting of a suite of libraries and programs for handling video, audio, and other multimedia files and streams. At its core is the command-line ffmpeg tool itself, designed for processing of video and audio files. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg). [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
# Get Video Info with `mediainfo`
|
||||
MediaInfo is a free, cross-platform and open-source program that displays technical information about media files, as well as tag information for many audio and video files. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo).
|
||||
|
||||
To install on Debian, run `sudo apt install mediainfo`.
|
||||
To get comprehensive media information about a file, simply use `mediainfo <file>`.
|
||||
|
||||
# Get Test Image with ffmpeg
|
||||
To get the test image, we extract frame of timestamp 15:20.01 from the test video with `ffmpeg -ss 00:15:20.01 -i "$input" -frames:v 1 "$output"`.
|
||||
|
||||
# Batch-ify ffmpeg Command
|
||||
For a given `ffmpeg -i $video <do stuff>`, apply the command to all `.mp4` videos in a directory and send all outputs to `./Transcodes/` with the following structure:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
for video in ./*.mp4
|
||||
do
|
||||
ffmpeg -i "$video" <do stuff> "Transcodes/${video%.*}.mp4"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Transcode Profiles
