Published on September 22nd, 2008 by Jean-Baptiste Jung. 153 Comments -

ffmpeg is a multiplatform, open-source library for video and audio files. I have compiled 19 useful and amazing commands covering almost all needs: video conversion, sound extraction, encoding file for iPod or PSP, and more.

ffmpeg -i video.avi
