Convert-to-MP4

Why: I needed to convert .avi to .mp4 to play on my TV.

• Uses ffmpeg to convert video files to .mp4
• Defaults to GPU encoding on NVDA GPU, will fallback to CPU

Requirements

• Python 3.x.x
• ffmpeg full (https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)

Setup & Usage

1. Download ffmpeg full
2. Add the direct path to the ffmpeg/bin directory to your system’s PATH environment variable
3. Create an input and output folder in project directory
4. Put video files in the input folder
5. Run the script

To support more formats, add file extensions to the supported_extensions tuple.
