Bulk converting MOV files to MP4 using ffmpeg
Made for personal use, for ease of viewing on Windows 10's proprietary app "Movies & TV". (Instead of using VLC media player)
Update: Since MOV files are now playable under Windows 10, this repo is now outdated.
For non-technical people:
- Download ffmpeg https://www.wikihow.com/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows
- Copy the bash script file (convert.sh) into the directory with MOV files.
- Open Windows Powershell, navigate to the directory with MOV files by typing and entering the command
cd <directory>like so:
cd C:\Users\jina2k\Downloads\exampledirectory
then type and enter the command bash ./convert.sh
