The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

While it's been alluded before, I'd like to re-state I'd do it instantly via CLI without transcoding with FFmpeg:

CLI rules !...that's my motto !

I'd be tempted to agree, __philippe -- sadly, on the very same day an update to FFmpeg v5.0-2 completely broke it in Termux for Android, causing more grief and frustration than I'd like to confess...

Update here: It's been said many times on these forums but ffmpeg is amazing. I used the following command borrowing from a Shotcut install on my computer, not far off from what Ruby posted about earlier in the thread. Just saved a batch file and the video to a folder. The conversion was near-instant and worked perfectly.
Nice.

That is almost verbatim what I suggested two posts above...!?

Amusingly, I scoured the site for the original reference and thought -- based on keywords -- it was Ruby's post. I somehow completely missed the actual suggestion I took this from on the same thread. This is what happens when you take notes to post about something days or weeks later.

All credit to Midas on this one.

It's OK -- we all have our diverse fuzzy thought processes and research workflows -- I just found it puzzling to see you post it right after...

Suggestion : HandBrake

HandBrake is a open-source tool, built by volunteers, for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.

Reasons you’ll love HandBrake:

Convert video from nearly any format
Free and Open Source
Multi-Platform (Windows, Mac and Linux)

And there's a CLI available too.

Convert? There was no conversion in my example...

Please state what you're trying to accomplish.
