How To Use FFMPEG On Linux.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 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.

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: ua-cam.com/video/klzZrW8BQUE/v-deo.html

This reminds me of old school youtube where the video just gave you the info. No ads, no weird intro, no music blasting no merch pushing, just good old fashion information.
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.
This has a proper old-school UA-cam vibe to it, I miss when all tutorials were like this
So true. No fancy background music or endless transitions and ads. And if the person isn't talking all you get is dead air.

I'm sorry about most of the comments, which seem to be meta-commentary on your video, as if you were a cute animal in a zoo. Thanks for the video.
I've only had to use ffmpeg on command line a few times out of necessity, but obviously I've used dozens of tools that use it in the back end. Phenomenal piece of software.
Yea if she were young there would be thirsty simps
I doubt it's better either
A woman giving computer lessons and not just simple sh!t, proper stuff. Amazing!

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
You deserve a play button for your years of service.
I can see a clear shift on you life and on your content based on the videos uploaded.

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 don't use Linux but I had to click on this video because you look like you're down to earth, and it reminds me of the old tutorial videos I used to see back when I first joined UA-cam in 2008.
i stumbled upon your video while having a full crisis and crying about my life. for some reason your explanation about how to use ffmpeg on linux calmed me. maybe i'll install linux, thank you :3.
Hey we hope you are feeling better. Did you install it? And if so, how is it going?
It's nice to see someone embody the "never too old to learn" idea. I wish many of the clients I serve at work had your passion for learning 😆
some are less lucky with age than others.
@@gfries4906 if you learn all the time, your brain ages slower. Video games are good for this: every game has its own set of rules, goals to achieve, and problems to solve. Each time you learn a new game, your brain gets better at adapting to new things, i.e. learns how to learn and keeps neuroplasticity

@@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.

This video is convincing me to switch to linux and having me question my hesitation to do so
honestly, you can do almost everything in Linux (except gaming and a few apps that don't have good alternatives like Premier). If you are technical, it is really easy to switch. If you game a lot, may be try starting with linux in a VM (Ubuntu) in Windows.

There seems to be a huge unwillingness to learn among our elders in regards to computers. Thank you for showing that it is indeed possible for older people to operate computers in an advanced manner.
Some of it is just luck about the circles we were born into: old people made computers after all.
A never thought that one day some old lady would teach me anything on this platform
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.
