NAME¶
ffcvt - ffmpeg convert wrapper tool
SYNOPSIS¶
ffcvt [flags] [video_filename]
OPTIONS¶
For flags, run ffcvt without parameters to see the comprehensive list and explanation.
DESCRIPTION¶
Command ffcvt is an easy to use video converter that takes the burden of such daunting task from normal Joe, to harness the fantastic high efficiency audio/video codec/encoding capability long been available in ffmpeg, by simplifying the convoluted ffmpeg command line parameters.
To encode a video, all you need to do is to give one parameter to ffcvt, i.e., the path and file name of the video to be encoded, and ffcvt will take care of the rest, using the recommended values for both audio/video encoding to properly encode it for you.
It can't be more simpler than that. However, beneath the simple surface, ffcvt is versatile and powerful enough to allow you to touch every corner of audio/video encoding. There is a huge list of environment variables (or command-line parameters) which will allow you tweak the encoding methods and parameters to exactly what you prefer instead.
Moreover, to encode a directory full of video files, including under its sub-directories, you need just to give ffcvt one single parameter, the directory location, and ffcvt will go ahead and encode all video files under that directory, including all its sub-directories as well.
