How to set ffmpeg output location?
Originally posted on beehaw technology. So I have some .opus files that I want to convert to .mp3. I used ffmpeg CLI with a script from https://ottverse.com/convert-all-files-inside-folder-ffmpeg-batch-convert, I used the wav to mp3 one but put opus instead of wav. The output is always in the same folder, and I want it to go to another, how can I do it? (windows 10)
You're viewing a single thread.
I would try adding ffmpeg to path, setting your working directory to the output folder, and running the script from there. If that doesn't work then you probably need to tweak the script.
The script page you linked also gives example syntax of
for %f in (*.mp4 *.avi *.mov) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac "%~nf_new.mkv"
Did you try modifying the very last argument to something like "c:/your/path/%~nf_new.mkv"?
Thank you, didnt knew that I should put the path there. Ended up with this: for %f in (*.opus) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -b:a 192k -ar 44100 "E:\MUZICA\Music\miscmp3%~nf_new.mp3"
Did that work or are you missing a backslash after "miscmp3"?
It was a typo, I put a backslash there like 40min ago(so it worked) but it seems like it didnt edit... Weird
Try clicking view source, it shows it
I don't know the markup language for Lemmy but it might be treating it like an escape character. In any case, I hope your ffmpeg project is working!
