How To Use FFMPEG On Linux.

- čas přidán 20. 03. 2024
- FFMPEG comes with Linux as a terminal based application and video converter. But there is an easy way to convert sound and video files to other formats. I show you how with MystiQ. You can also use QWinFF.

There are people alive right now that have been teaching programming since the 70s. One of my professors (8 years ago) in uni was born in the 50s and started teaching when he was 20.

Yeah on Linux one thing is you have to have a password. Though most people get round that by setting up a short password that they will never forget. It seems to work well. I never had any password on my user account when I was on Windows. But you know what Windows is like now with Windows 10 and 11. So was glad to get away from Windows. The password thing is a small price to pay for having a really good operating system which Linux is. Where you don't have all of the problems you have on Windows. Windows 10 and 11 are not the same as Windows 7. It's getting worse now because Microsoft are now blocking third party software that brings back the Windows 7 menu in the Windows 11 Update 24H2. So I think we will be seeing more Windows users leaving and coming over to Linux. It's hard to believe that they would do this but it is happening. I found out from here and from some posts on the web. This users explains it well: czcams.com/video/klzZrW8BQUE/video.html
The first thing she does after opening a terminal is running the neofetch command.
She is the chosen one.

I do customer service in my day job. I do a lot of handholding for older folks who don't know how to use really basic computer things. It's actually very humbling, but every now and then I talk to someone who is 80 or 90 and has a very good grasp on tech. A former colleague of mine, who was elderly, but an ethical hacker, taught me it wasn't age or the fact that folks didn't grow up at the right time to learn; it's that many older folks weren't as open to the changing landscape. I am always happy to see older folks who enjoy noodling around with tech. It gives me hope, as someone who has always aspired to grow old and not be closed off to new experiences. I may stick around to see more. Cheers 🥂
You are correct about them not adapting to a changing landscape. I do tech support and deal with a lot of elderly customers, many of them both male & female tell me they used to work on the huge mainframe computers and were quite the computer wizards back in the AT days. I guess once you retire and don't really have to do anything technical on the computer it's easy to fall behind by 20yrs.
I don't know why CZcams recommended this to me, but I'm happy to see an elderly person using/enjoying Linux. Keep it up!
This has a proper old-school CZcams vibe to it, I miss when all tutorials were like this

She's been doing this for 13 years, god bless you linux lady
Only 13?
A worthy successor to the Vancouver duck lady
Prob has a big background
This was great. One consideration for people: Be careful about converting lossy compression formats (ie: mp3, ogg, jpg), to another lossy format, as each time you re-encode the file with a lossy codec, it degrades the quality. A single convert may be passable, but especially be careful about doing this numerous times.
When doing editing I try to do everything with one long ffmpeg command using --filter-complex (or whatever it's called) to chain together a bunch of filters (encoding only at the very end) or, if that is not possible or practicable, I use some kind of lossless codec for the intermediate steps (but it uses a lot of disk space). As I understand, GUI editing software such as Adobe does not encode anything until you click the Export button or some such. ffmpeg is hard for complex editing. Long command with --filter-complex are confusing a.f. and it sometimes gives unexpected results. I guess it's probably better to use it more for conversion than editing. I have also considered using something called AviSynth for text/script-based editing of videos, but so far I've never tried it.
Unrelated but I think you are quite handsome
Thank you CZcams, now I can finally convert my media files 🙏
The random quotes every time bash runs are so wholesome I love it.

Just because someone is elderly, does not mean they are disconnected from reality. This lady, for example, can easily see the clear superiority of Debian over Ubuntu. If that's not bright, then I don't know what is.

Those specs on a Windows OS would run like hell. Linux truly is something else.
That laptop in the video did have Windows 11 when I bought it two years ago. But it now runs Linux just fine.
@@AndreaBormanselling computers like that with windows 11 or 10 seems silly. it probably needs to dip into swap with the operating system alone let alone running any programs on top of that.
@@spookyweeb5563 768p honestly seems like a headache waiting to happen.
I just ordered 50 of these for a school, they run okay for basic desktop stuff. The SSD on them does a lot of the heavy lifting, if they had a mechanical drive they would be hell but they actually run pretty snappy on Windows 11. You'd be surprised how well Windows does with lower specs as long as there is an SSD. I upgrade 1-2 computers a week with 500gb SSDs in place of their mechanical drives and they are often 6-10yr old machines and they run good as new with the upgrade.
i think a 4 core celeron will do just fine running windows for basic applications like school or office work
Did I need to know how to do this? No. Did I watch the entire thing? Yes. Keep doing your thing Andrea
i work with linux every day for a digital signage company and i’m super impressed with your videos - keep up the good work
FFMPEG is very powerful and VERY complex. A GUI to help do routine conversions using it is a Godsend. Thanks Andrea.
that’s why i just went ahead and created my own bash script for doing some quick and dirty operations like making video clips, converting between a few commonly used formats, stripping out audio and making audio only clips, etc.
The most popular well-known GUI for ffmpeg is called Handbrake, it's very easy to use and available on a large number of platforms including Windows. Go have a look at it 😁 the batch encoding on it is pretty finicky to use but for one by one encodes it is very straightforward.
I'm not going to lie that I'm actually a little jealous that I can't make tutorial videos as good as this. Nice job!

- Crashes somewhat often

- Great documentation
- Reliable and robust

Tbh, reliable once you've spent tens to hundreds of hours on a perfect configuration, which might break upon trying to update
@@PCGamer1732I have killed many perfect Debian and Ubuntu installs by running a dist-upgrade and never got them back to the state I was happy with. Had to wipe the OS and just keep my home directory then try to piece my OS customisations back together haphazardly fighting with packages.

@@PCGamer1732 Not really. I didn't configure shit and it been working since forever. If linux was unreliable it wouldn't be used for servers
@@PCGamer1732 you just install gnome and set up keybindings, a few extensions and you're golden. Nothing should ever break if you're on a stable distro, and if something were to break, you'll receive a notice from package maintainers
My elder sister half her age is terrified of switching to Linux even though it will do her a world of good with her laptop having the same exact spec. Now I will point her to this channel.
Linux Mint is a good one to start with. It is most like Windows 7.

@@kaelandin(I'm not Andrea, but my 2c) Ubuntu is alright, but the UI is different enough for people coming from Windows that it could make the switch intimidating and frustrating. I think Andrea's suggestion with Linux Mint is a good way to go.
@@kaelandin I like Ubuntu and I think it's a very good distro. Some of their themes are beautiful. The only thing that stops me using it is the Snaps which you cannot remove because it breaks the OS. Though as Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu you can install the Ubuntu Desktop Environment on Mint. Which gives you the desktop but without the Snaps. That seems to work well as well.
@@AndreaBormanthat's a good point, and I've never tried it. Cheers!
