This is a list of FFmpeg commands to convert videos to other formats to overcome the following issue. There are many video formats available and there are many devices which play those video formats, but sometimes device accepts only specific video format and we need to convert our video to meet that need. FFmpeg is command line tool which help to do just that. Few of the many FFmpeg commands are listed below. If you can improve any command please do tell us in comments, we will update it with your credits.
