| Fuck-off those .WEBMs: | Fuck-off those .WEBMs. ''copy'' here copies those streams, so they're no reencoded, it's just changing the container: |
| |
| <code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy [output].mkv</code> | <code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy [output].mkv</code> |
| | |
| | A more compact way is to use ''-c'', which will copy over all streams (there's also ''-c:a'' (audio) ''-c:v'' (video) ''-c:s'' (subtitles)…: |
| | |
| | <code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -c copy [output].mkv</code> |
| | |
| | So if you wanted to copy the video stream and just reencode/change the audio, for example: |
| | |
| | <code>ffmpeg -i [input].[ext] -acodec aac -vcodec copy [output].[ext]</code> |

| For converting a directory of .FLAC files to .MP3. ''[-qscale:a 0|-b:a 320k]'' is your choice between VBR with the best quality (0) or a CBR of 320k. VBR is generally just as good, though sometimes you need CBR. | For converting a directory of .FLAC files to .MP3.
