Here is the script being used:
import os
import ffmpeg
start_dir =r'C:\Users\Videos_2'
def convert_to_mp4(mkv_file):
name, ext = os.path.splitext(mkv_file)
out_name = name + ".mp4"
#ffmpeg.input(mkv_file).output(out_name, format = 'mp4', acodec ='aac', ar=16000, audio_bitrate=96000 ).run()
ffmpeg.input(mkv_file).output(out_name, format = 'mp4', acodec ='aac', ar=16000, audio_bitrate=96000 ).run()
print("Finished converting {}".format(mkv_file))
for path, folder, files in os.walk(start_dir):
for file in files:
if file.endswith('.mkv'):
print("Found file: %s" % file)
convert_to_mp4(os.path.join(start_dir, file))
else:
pass
It is similar to the following: Converting mkv files to mp4 with ffmpeg-python
It gives me the error FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified on the line convert_to_mp4(os.path.join(start_dir, file)). From the link provided it says to fix the problem "Make sure ffmpeg.exe is in the same directory as the script." However I do not understand exactly what that means. I downloaded ffmpeg through the terminal window in the environment that I am using.
