ffmpeg -i input.video -threads 4 -b:v 1M -crf 10 output.webm

mencoder -idx input.video -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.video

# 5 images per seconds
ffmpeg -y -framerate 5 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -c:v libx264 -vf "fps=25,scale=720:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" out.mp4

ffmpeg -r 30 -s 1080x1080 -i imgs/%05d.jpg -vcodec libx264 -crf 15 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mkv

• crf: quality, minor is better

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -qscale:v 2 imgs/%05d.jpg

• qscale:v is quality, 2-15 minor is better

convert to mkv

mkvmerge -o output.mkv <inputfile>

convert to mkv and downgrade quality

avconv -i <inputfile> -map 0 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -c:a copy -c:s copy <outfile>.mkv

concatenate all *.mp4 files to output.mkv

mkvmerge -o output.mkv $(echo *.mp4 | sed "s| | +|g")

From x265 to x264

ffmpeg -xerror -i input.mkv -hide_banner -threads 0 -map 0 -c:a copy -c:s copy -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mkv

convert files to mkv and downgrade them if greater than specific value
