Ffmpeg command to encode ENTIRE DIRECTORY?

[sumpm1]

I am using ffmpeg from command line in Linux. I want to encode a bunch of audio files. I was wondering if anyone knows a ffmpeg command that will just encode everything in a given folder?

Thanks

Convert all files to mp3(you probably want to add some settings also):

for file in /folder/*; do `ffmpeg -i $file $file.mp3`;done

edit: updated the code, this should work better.

Hi
I trying to change the code a little because I want the output file create in a diffrent directory.
but the file is whole address to the file so I have to somehow remove the old directory but not the filename

/update
to make it easy for me I just change the code a little

for file in *.avi; do `ffmpeg -i $file /newfolder/$file.avi`;done

so now I just have to put the file in that folder of movie I want to convert and run
