[FFmpeg-user] [FFmpeg] about conversion of movies

[BloodMan]

Hi,

# convert in background with watching log file
screen -L -Logfile out.log -dm bash -c "ffmpeg -loglevel info -stats -y 
-i movie.mp4 out.mp4"; tail -f out.log


# OR just
ffmpeg -loglevel info -stats -y -i movie.mp4 out.mp4 &>out.log

# and view log _after_ convert
cat out.log


btw. loglevel may be "info" (verbose) or for example "warning" 
(warnings+errors)
