Batch Video Converter

Overview

Batch-Video-Converter.py is a Python script designed to batch convert video files into different formats. The script supports multiple input formats and allows users to keep or remove audio during conversion. It supports both interactive input mode and command-line parameters.

Features

• Supports multiple video formats: .mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv, .wmv
• Converts videos to user-specified formats (mp4, avi, mov, mkv)
• Option to keep or remove audio
• Batch processing with progress tracking using tqdm
• Supports interactive mode and command-line arguments

Requirements

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed: bash pip install moviepy tqdm

Usage

Interactive Mode

Run the script without parameters and follow the prompts: bash python Batch-Video-Converter.py The script will prompt for: - Input directory: Directory containing video files - Output directory: Directory for converted files - Target format: Choose from available formats - Keep audio: Decide whether to retain audio in converted files

Command-Line Mode

Alternatively, you can run the script with parameters: bash python Batch-Video-Converter.py --input_dir path/to/videos --output_dir path/to/output --target_format mp4 --keep_audio - --input_dir : Path to input directory containing video files - --output_dir : Path to output directory for converted videos - --target_format : Output format (mp4, avi, mov, mkv) - --keep_audio : (Optional) Include this flag to retain audio

Example

Before running the script:

/videos ├── sample1.avi ├── sample2.mov

Running the script interactively:

Enter the input directory containing videos: /videos Enter the output directory for converted videos (leave blank for default): /converted_videos Select the target format: 1: mp4 2: avi 3: mov 4: mkv Enter the format number: 1 Do you want to keep audio in the converted videos? (Y/N, default: N): Y

Output directory structure:

/converted_videos ├── sample1.mp4 ├── sample2.mp4

Code Functionality

1. Reads video files from the input directory
