What AI-generated, non-working, obviously incorrect garbage is this? Also, you want to define this as an alias to type the command 33% faster, too!

alias fc='ffmpeg -c copy -map 0:0 -f data - 2>/dev/null -i '

Amateurs.

[-] kubica@fedia.io 71 points 3 weeks ago

Sigh, it's always "2>/dev/null" never "what is your problem 2?"....

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 32 points 3 weeks ago

I call this part "shut up, tin can, I know what I'm doing".

Sometimes you just don't care about these 42 files find couldn't access. If I don't have permissions to read them, I'm not interested!

bruh! take this, computer!! I didn't want to search them anyway!!!

I do the same thing too all the time

ffmpeg is wild as far as tools go

[-] idriss@lemm.ee 69 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, there are massive projects that serve as a frontend to a subset of ffmpeg features.

[-] DasSkelett@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

Like Firefox

(partially kidding)

my ass searching up any ffmpeg command every time I wanna run them instead of memorizing it or putting it in a text file to reuse

[-] bamboo 24 points 3 weeks ago

Just remember if you need to do anything with subtitles in FFMpeg, you need to install libass

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 weeks ago

it for the streets

[-] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I do that with yt-dlp

[-] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago

FFMPG/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, FFMPG plus Linux.

[-] gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 43 points 3 weeks ago

That doesn't work for me, but it also doesnt give me an error

[-] Gobo@lemmy.world 44 points 3 weeks ago

Then it works. Just not in the way you wanted

[-] gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well specifically it does not work "to display text files", it just silently exits.

[-] th3f4ult 23 points 3 weeks ago

You can also use ffmpeg to convert music and pictures! And to summon the devil into your kernel!

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

How has BSD never had "Summon the devil into your kernel" as a slogan!?

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Sweet jebus, it really can do anything. Just put it in the kernel already. /s

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Everything is valid Perl code.

[-] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

I don't have to use a perl script to view the contents of a file?

open(my $fh, '<', 'filename.txt') or die "Could not open file: $!"; while (my $line = <$fh>) { print $line; } close($fh);

Sick!

  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
