Need help with ffmpeg batch file

[DarrellS]

I'm trying to learn how to use ffmpeg.

I found out how to put ffmpeg in my user folder and run a command promp to convert files. Now I need to know how to create a batch file to convert the whole folder instead of converting one file at a time.

I have a bunch of files that are VP6/MP3 in MKV container that I need to copy back into FLV container. I used the copy command which works fine but I can't do more than one file at a time. I can make a batch file that works by putting...

ffmpeg -i video_1.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy video_1.flv
ffmpeg -i video_2.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy video_2.flv
ffmpeg -i video_3.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy video_3.flv

but that is very time consuming.

I'd appreciate it if someone familiar with ffmpeg could help me write a script to batch copy all my FLV/MKV to FLV without having to type the names of every single file in the folder.

for %%a in ("*.mkv") do ffmpeg -i %%a command_line_parameters %%~na.flv

and put it in a .bat file in the folder with all the mkv files.

Thanks, Baldrick.

Opening a very old thread but this describes what I want to do.

I would like to try to do the same technique as Baldrick mentioned but it does not want to work for me, need help.

ffmpeg -genpts 1 -i ES_Video_1.m2v -i ES_Audio_1A.mp2 -i ES_Audio_1B.mp2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob ES_Video_1.mpg -newaudio
ffmpeg -genpts 1 -i ES_Video_2.m2v -i ES_Audio_2A.mp2 -i ES_Audio_2B.mp2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob ES_Video_2.mpg -newaudio
