Convert all MKV files into other formats

note, May 14, 2023, on Mitja Felicijan's blog

You will need ffmpeg installed on your system. This will convert all MKV files into WebM format.

# Convert all MKV files into WebM format.
find ./ -name '*.mkv' -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "$0" -vcodec libvpx -acodec libvorbis -cpu-used 5 -threads 8 "${0%%.mp4}.webm"' {} \;
# Convert all MKV files into MP4 format.
find ./ -name '*.mkv' -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "$0" c:a copy -c:v copy -cpu-used 5 -threads 8 "${0%%.mp4}.mp4"' {} \;
