FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec – the leading audio/video codec library. See the documentation for a complete feature list.
To install FFmpeg on your Ubuntu machine, you need to hit the terminal and type:
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Once installed, change the directory to the location where the video files are located. Then using the ffmpeg command:
$ ffmpeg -i brymayor_video.avi -ab 56k -ar 22050 -b 300k -r 15 -s 480x360 brymayor_new_video.flv
Replace brymayor_video.avi with the filename you want to convert and its format and replace the output filename brymayor_new_video.flv with your desired output filename and format.
You can replace 480×360 in the code with 320×240 as well if you want to reduce it further. FFmpeg accepts the following video formats: VOB, AVI, MPEG, FLV, DIVD-X, mp4, etc. For a complete list of parameters and formats, navigate to FFmpeg documentation.
Always think twice before hitting the Enter key…
