Hi Folks,
In this post I go over how to convert a .mov file to a .mp4 file using the terminal. Why should you know this skill? Well, you may have recorded a video using an iPhone. Usually these videos are formatted as .mov files. Let’s imagine you need to convert this to mp4 for whatever reason, how do you go about it?
If you have ffmpeg installed, you can use it for the conversion via the terminal. The command to run looks like:
ffmpeg -i {in-video}.mov -vcodec h264 -acodec aac {out-video}.mp4
That’s all for now. Till next time, happy video conversion!
