About the project

Tested on Windows 10.
Converts various videos of your choice with ffmpeg, or extracts audio from video files.

For more information see ffmpeg docs: link

Pre-requisites

ffmpeg needs to be installed on your computer.

1. Download ffmpeg.
2. Unzip ffmpeg.
3. Copy all the files from bin to a folder of your choice.
4. Add bin to your Path environment variables.

For this script to work, as PowerShell might be quite strict with some scripts, you need to activate this first:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

And to deactivate it once you're done:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Scope CurrentUser

Usage

1. Run:
   • Convert videos: Convert-Video.ps1
   • Extract audio: Extract-Audio.ps1
2. Usage:

   • Videos: .\Convert-Bulk.ps1 C:\Videos libx264
     (If you omit the codec, libx264 will be set by default)

   • Audio: .\Extract-Audio.ps1 C:\Music flac
     (If you omit the codec, libmp3lame will be set by default)

3. Choose a name for the output file, such as video.mp4.
