- khedoros1 9y agoI've seen you mention those tools a couple times. I'm familiar with ffmpeg. Does convert also cover the MS Office file formats, as this tool purports to?
- jncraton 9y agoThe convert tool is part of imagemagick and only works on image formats as far as I know. I personally use pandoc to do similar conversions on documents and ssconvert for spreadsheets.
- khedoros1 9y agoThat's kind of what I thought. Although I'm aware of imagemagick itself, I didn't know that convert was provided by it. Thanks for the clarification.
- bo1024 9y agoI missed the MS formats -- sorry! I don't know off the top of my head, but doubt it. libreoffice should though.
- systoll 9y agoNo. For office formats there's unoconv https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv
- ldjb 9y agoFor the video, you'd probably want to do a stream copy, which will retain the original quality and save you from having to potentially wait a long time for it to encode: $ ffmpeg -i input-file.mov -c copy output-file.mp4 This works if the output container format supports the codecs used by the input file, which should be the case for most mov->mp4 conversions.
