convert a screencast

If you record screen with (ctrl+shift+alt+R) in Ubuntu, you'll get a webm file, GitHub wants mp4. So you need to convert from webm to mp4.

The ffmpeg command allows such a conversion. Ubuntu's file navigator allows to have some right-click scripts shortcuts.

To be dropped and chmod +x in something like ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/ffmpeg convert to mp4

#!/bin/bash

path=$1
ffmpeg -y -i "${path}" "${path}.mp4"
notify-send "converted ${path}"
