This is the command I am using:
for i in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -map_metadata -1 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -c:a libopus -crf 19 "${i%.*}.webm"; done
It will run fine for a while, it got about 75% through the first file last time I ran it. But then it hard freezes, the whole system is locked up. The only way I can reset is to hold down the power button.
Specs of computer:
i5-3330s
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
Running Latest Zorin OS Lite (reinstalled yesterday, so nothing on it except what is preinstalled and ffmpeg)
I ran prime95 for half an hour and it didn't crash there, and the cpu temps never went over 55 degrees, so I don't think it's an overheating issue.
FFMPEG doesn't "crash" really, so there is no error output, it just completely freezes.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Have you checked syslog, journalctl ? (could be ram issues, cpu issue, driver issue,...)

I'm not sure the exact time of the freeze as I was afk when it happened, Around the time I think it happened there is a download in the syslog. "fwupdmgr" and "updating lvfs". Not really sure what that means tbh.
The first line that seems to be related to it says *pc name* CRON[3841]. I looked it up and CRON is apparently a task schedueler, so I'm guessing this was just a schedueled firmware update.
Could that have caused it, or is there something else I should look for in the logs files? -
Hardware issues usually show up in the kernel log file, software issues basically can show up in any log file and shape

syslog, kernel.log and journalctl are the first things I would look at then X0rg or similar log files, that are associated with the display manager&co, might be an over active power management option going wrong or similar.

Okay, if you can't find anything, try to reproduce the issue while having a tail on the logs, so if it freezes you might see something
