How to batch convert mp4 files to ogg with ffmpeg using a bash command or Ruby
I am running a OSX, don't know tons about video conversions. But I have like 200 videos that are all in mp4 format and won't play in Firefox. I need to convert them to ogg to use the html5 video tag. These files live in a folder structure that makes it hard to do files one at a time. I would like the bash command or Ruby command to go through all child folders and find all .mp4's and convert them. I found one reference of how to do this with Google: http://athmasagar.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/a-bash-script-to-convert-mp4-files-to-oggogv/ #!/bin/bash for f in $(ls *mp4 | sed ‘s/\(.*\)\..*/\1/’)
