Script to convert videos for viewing on Ubuntu Touch

Bolly

Hello I share this script to run it on the PC if anyone can use it.

The script in this case converts all mp4 and mkv files in the folder where you run it to an Ubuntu Touch readable mp4. The script does not delete the originals, it will put them in the Converted_videos folder at the same level.

#!/bin/bash
 
mkdir Converted_videos
 
for i in *.mp4
do
    withoutExtension=$(echo "$i" | cut -f 1 -d '.')
    ffmpeg -i "$i" Converted_videos/"$withoutExtension".mp4
done
 
for i in *.mkv
do
    withoutExtension=$(echo "$i" | cut -f 1 -d '.')
    ffmpeg -i "$i" Converted_videos/"$withoutExtension".mp4
done

I also share the original entry in Spanish
