Convert video files to MP4 through FFMPEG

ffmpeg.md

This is my personal list of functions that I wrote for converting mov files to mp4!

Command Flags

-codec:a	libfaac, libfdk_aac, libvorbis	Audio Codec
-quality	best, good, realtime	Video Quality
-b:a	128k, 192k, 256k, 320k	Audio Bitrate
-codec:v	mpeg4, libx264, libvpx-vp9	Video Codec
-b:v	1000, 2500, 5000, 8000	Video Bitrate
-vf scale	-1:X	Resize Video (X is height)

@vodolaz095 Thank you! Fixed!

Hi, overall very helpful, thank you very much! But for the command flags table, the video bitrates -b:v say 1000, 2500, 5000, 8000 by rather should be 1000k, 2500k, 5000k, 8000k. I encoded a video with 2500 bit and well, its kind ugly :D
