Convert all video to audio with ffmpeg in current directory

#!/bin/bash

# Check if ffmpeg is installed
command -v ffmpeg >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 "ffmpeg is required but not installed. Aborting."; exit 1; }

# Get a list of all video files in the current directory
video_files=(*.{mp4,mkv,flv,avi})

# Check if there are any video files in the current directory
if [ ${#video_files[@]} -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "No video files found in the current directory."
    exit 1
fi

# Loop through all video files and convert them to audio files
for video_file in "${video_files[@]}"
do
  # Get the file name without the extension
  file_name="${video_file%.*}"

  # Convert the video file to an audio file in the current directory
  ffmpeg -i $video_file -vn -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k $file_name.mp3

  echo "Conversion of $video_file completed. The audio file is located in the current directory."
done

echo "All conversions completed."

Remove audio from video with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -an output.mp4

-i input.mp4 specifies the input video file.
-c copy tells FFmpeg to copy the video stream without re-encoding.
-an removes the audio stream from the output file.
output.mp4 is the name you choose for the output video file.

Reduce video size with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

-i input.mp4 specifies the input video file.
-c:v libx264 sets the video codec to H.264, which is widely supported and provides good compression.
-crf 23 controls the video quality. Lower values result in higher quality but larger file sizes. A value of around 23 is a good balance between quality and size.
-preset medium sets the encoding speed and compression efficiency. The “medium” preset provides a good compromise.
-c:a aac -b:a 128k sets the audio codec to AAC with a bitrate of 128k. This ensures decent audio quality while keeping the file size reasonable.
output.mp4 is the name you choose for the output video file.

Create a new video from all the videos sorted by name in a folder using with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i <(for f in $(ls -v /path/to/folder/*.mp4); do echo "file '$PWD/$f'"; done) -c copy output.mp4
