Reply with quote

I would like to transcode a directory of MPEG files into AVI files. Currently I use the command:

Code:

transcode -i <inputfile.mpg> -o <outputfile.avi> -y xvid4

Can I use wildcards to have it load entire directory of MPGs and output them as AVIs? I'm somewht newbie-ish to the Linux CLI and noticed the typical MSDOS "*" doesn't work.

Thanks for any help!

Try this:

Code:

for i in *.mpg; do transcode -i $i -o `basename $i mpg`avi -y xvid4; done

this one might also work:

Code:

find *.mpg | xargs -i transcode -i \"{}\" -o \"{}.avi\" -y xvid4
