Recently I received video from my colleague taken from his iPhone. I wanted to attach it to our Jira, but …. it had over 200MB ( just few second video ). So I’ve started to look up for some conversion …
After quick googling I’ve found this article:
https://dimitar.me/convert-quicktime-movies-to-avi-encoded-with-mpeg-4-mov-to-avi-with-linuxubuntu/
And found out, that converting in CLI is really simple So in case you have not installed libmp3lame0 then install it :
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0
and then just convert your video like this
ffmpeg -i [intput file] [output file]
In case you want to convert in more precise way, you can use something similar to this
ffmpeg -i [input file] -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -profile:v main -acodec [output file]
