This file is rather large at 290+ megs in size. Test video download.įor our test video, we shall be using something from our own site which is the Ukidig-HD.mp4 file which was recorded in dual-pass 25-35mb stream giving the maximum quality. Since we do not own a mac we are unable to provide instructions as to what to do on OSX. We will be avoiding any self-compiling here out of simplicity. Windows users can simply go to the FFMpeg site and download the stock binaries. It should also work with many Linux environments that use the apt command such as Debian. This is the command that we passed to get it working on our Raspberry Pi. Making videos via command line / FFmpeg.Īll of the examples given below are strictly ones that worked out well for me and were discovered through going through the FFmpegs documentation on their website. If you are all cool with that then please read on. S-Config and its partners are not responsible for any physical, emotional, mental, or financial damage that could occur from the advice we provide. If you feel that some of the information is invalid then please leave it in the comments below. The reason why our page even exists in the first place is to act as a note repository for the people that work on this blog. We are are not affiliated with the development team of FFMpeg in any way and thus the information that we provide here can be placed out-of-date or worse yet could be deemed inherently false. We have other blog articles talking about GUI video conversion later on for those who are interested. But the fact that it’s not GUI also means that it can run on just about any modern OS in the world. The real drawback is FFMpeg is a pure command line with no GUI which may scare some people away. You could even run FFmpeg on a Raspberry Pi if you wanted to wait a few years for the results! The video conversion is really important for those who are hosting their own files and not relying on a third-party site such as YouTube or Vimeo because you are looking for the most compatible video standards that offer the best quality at the lowest bandwidth so that no only your server is happy but the users that visit your site.įFmpeg is awesome in respects that since it’s open-source it’s a binary that can be compiled on a remote server that you own and begin converting videos on the spot if necessary and if you have the CPU power to do it. This quick guide goes through some of the details on how we convert some videos using FFmpeg.
