all media converter

Question

do you know something which is able to convert almost all media types? from flv to music to wav to mp3?

Answer 1

You should have a look at the FFmpeg project.

From the project description:

"FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec library."

It is likely already installed on your system because a lot of media players depend on the libavcodec library.

To see the available codecs on your system, execute ffmpeg -codecs

• list of codecs provided by ffmpeg
• list of video codecs provided by libavcodec
• list of audio codecs provided by libavcodec

Answer 2

ffmpeg is what you are looking for.

You can read through the official documentation.

Otherwise just search on google "convert X to Y with ffmepg", where X and Y would be the formats you trying to convert between.
