    Here's what I'm doing:

    ffmpeg -i /home/aaron-as-user/cnvrt/*.av­i /home/aaron-as-user/cnvrt/*.mp­4

    ..and then of course I press Enter

    But it will only work if I DON'T use the wildcard (the asterisk*).

    The "convrt" folder has 25 videos in .avi format which I'm converting to .mp4. But I have to convert them ONE video @ a time, naming each file. So I have to do this:

    ffmpeg -i /home/aaron-as-user/cnvrt/01Vi­dLesson.avi /home/aaron-as-user/cnvrt/01Vi­dlesson.mp4

    Advice? TY

  • OK, I so much needed the information in your vid, that I made an extra effort to listen, and I learned a few things. It works similar to DOS, but I can see more power in the Linux command line.

    However, I'm doing some more complicated things than what you show (even though what you show has given me some conceptual building blocks).

    If I paste what I'm typing, you will understand what I'm doing.

    See my next ...

  • Thanks for the video, but your voice is too soft, even with my volume turned up to max.

    Your soft voice plus your beautiful accent makes it impossible for me to follow.

    Thanks and sorry. :(
