I'm sure this is a very basic question so I apologise but I couldn't find it being asked on here before.
I've just downloaded and installed ffmpeg for Mac OSX and the main thing I want to use it for is converting files like AVIs or MP4s into MOVs or reducing the frame rate or resolution.
I have a video in a folder in my movies folder called test.mp4 but when I try to use ffmpeg to convert it by typing 'ffmpeg -i test.mp4 test.avi' it keeps telling me 'No such file or directory' it does the same thing when I try it with other videos. The videos are definitely there though.
So is there a specific folder I need to put the videos into, like an input directory or is there a way in the command line that I can specify the folder the video is in?
Thanks in advance!
Amazing, thank you for that, now I've told it where to look it's worked straight away. I'll look through the documentation as well though like you say just to make sure I understand what's actually being done. Thanks! – Arron – 2019-02-27T15:39:41.227

+1 Do either of you know how to fix EXT-X-MAP:URI in m3u8 when specifying absolute hls_fmp4_init_filename using ffmpeg? Using absolute directory like you suggested isn't working. https://stackoverflow.com/q/60460212/470749 Thanks.
