Video

Note: Without proper reencoding the filesize will stay the same and some devices still don’t open the results - even if they support e.g. mp4 - this does not mean they support the used codec. To fix this, please reencode the files - this will take time, but ensure better filesizes and results!

AVI to MP4

Fast (without reencode)

This just copies the data without proper reencoding - some devices don’t like the results…

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ./converted/
for i in *.avi;
    do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;
    echo $name;
    # Using the pts has no value fix...
    ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i "$i" -codec copy "./converted/${name}.mp4";
    sleep 1
done

MKV to MP4

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ./converted/
for i in *.mkv;
    do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;
    echo $name;
    ffmpeg -i "$i" "./converted/${name}.mp4";
    sleep 1
done

#!/bin/bash

    do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;

    ffmpeg -i "$i" -codec copy "./converted/${name}.mp4";
    sleep 1
done

Audio

Normalize

This normalizes to 0db - NOTE that the parent folder is used since we dont change the audio format and therefore we would loop for a infinite time…

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ../normalized/
for i in *.mp3;
    do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;
    echo $name;
    ffmpeg -i "$i" -af "volume=0dB" "../normalized/${name}.mp3";
    sleep 1
done

FLAC to MP3

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ./converted/
for i in *.flac;
    do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;
    ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec libmp3lame "./converted/${name}.mp3";
    sleep 1
done
