FFMPEG Bulk Batch Processing Command to Convert Entire Directory of MP4 Videos to MP3 Files in CMD

[00:00] Uh hello guys uh welcome to this video.

[00:02] So in this video I will show you a

[00:04] ffmppg batch processing script or

[00:08] command that you can actually run to

[00:10] process multiple videos at a single

[00:12] time. So if let's suppose if you have a

[00:15] directory containing multiple videos

[00:17] let's suppose it can contain either 10

[00:20] videos or it can contain 100 videos as

[00:23] well.

[00:24] So using this ffmppg script or command

[00:27] that I will show you, it will process

[00:29] and convert all these videos into MP3.

[00:32] So it will extract all the sound from

[00:34] this videos and save it as a MP3 file.

[00:37] So just go to your command line and as

[00:40] you can see we have four videos present

[00:42] in my directory. So this is first,

[00:45] second, third, fourth. All these videos

[00:47] are in MP4 format MP4. So what I will do

[00:51] is that I will convert all these four

[00:53] videos into MP3. So just go to the

[00:56] directory wherever your videos are

[01:00] present. So simply open the command line

[01:03] right here. So I just open command line

[01:06] in the directory where all the videos

[01:09] are present. So once you open it, this

[01:12] is actually a very simple oneline

[01:15] command that you simply write here for

[01:18] and then you write percentage

[01:22] sign I. So we are simply running a for

[01:26] loop right here in the command line. So

[01:28] for percentage sign I after that we just

[01:32] need to say in and then parenthesis and

[01:36] then we just need to write

[01:38] here asterric sign right here and then

[01:43] MP4. So this is essentially what it is

[01:46] doing right here. It is looping through

[01:47] all the videos which are present in this

[01:49] folder. It is saying for and we have put

[01:52] this placeholder variable I in and this

[01:56] parenthesis is doing it

[01:59] is MP4. So we are not providing names

[02:02] right here. Names can be anything but we

[02:05] just provided this extension that

[02:07] ismpp4. So it is essentially it is

[02:09] saying that if all the videos are

[02:12] present in this folder is MP4. So one by

[02:15] one it is uh do the processing of each

[02:17] video and after that we just need to

[02:20] execute the command here. So we simply

[02:22] write

[02:23] do

[02:25] ffmppg dash i. So we take each video and

[02:29] we execute this simple command ffmpg- i

[02:32] and after that we just say in double

[02:35] quotes percentage sign i. We take the

[02:40] video and after that again we write uh

[02:43] double quotes and we convert that video

[02:46] into MP4. So we simply write here this

[02:49] symbol which

[02:52] is right in the keyboard right here. You

[02:54] throw just put shift key you will see

[02:58] this is actually the key right here and

[03:01] then you

[03:03] can

[03:05] ni.mpp3. So I have given the command in

[03:07] the description of this video. So you

[03:09] can copy this command. So you just need

[03:12] to write this

[03:13] command in double quotes percentage sign

[03:18] ni.mpp3. So as soon as I execute this

[03:20] command right here, you will see it will

[03:22] process each video and it will create

[03:24] this MP3 file for each video in the same

[03:27] directory. So you can see it will save

[03:31] you a lot of time because if you have

[03:33] thousands of videos present and if you

[03:35] just want to convert videos into MP3 you

[03:38] can just execute the script in the

[03:40] command line and you will see the

[03:43] processing has been complete and the

[03:45] four MP3 videos have been created

[03:47] automatically. So you can see if I so in

[03:51] this video I will show you variable by

[03:54] these three. So see it is extracted all

[03:58] the sound. Here it

[04:01] is dot

[04:06] up do machine W6. So all the four videos

[04:11] sound has been extracted which comes

[04:14] right here four different MP3 files. So

[04:17] I have given this command uh with a

[04:20] little bit detailed article as well of

[04:22] stra overflow.com where I got this

[04:24] command.

[04:26] So they have explained each option in

[04:29] detail and after that they have also

[04:31] given command from Linux. This command

[04:34] will only work for Windows machine but

[04:36] if you are on Mac or Linux they have

[04:38] also given command from for that as

[04:40] well. So you can refer this article.

[04:44] I've given this article in the

[04:45] description of this video. So if you are

[04:47] on Linux or Mac, you basically copy this

[04:49] command and it will do the same task for

[04:52] you. So thank you very much for watching
