FFmpeg wrapper for python

pyffmpeg

FFmpeg wrapper for python.

The beautiful thing about it is that it comes with its own FFmpeg executable. It is compressed, making it the smallest you can find. And becuase its cross-platform and python 3, it is the only option available for building cross-platform apps with ffmpeg in python.

Installation

pip install pyffmpeg

Usage

from pyffmpeg import FFmpeg

inp = 'path/to/music_folder/f.mp4'
out = 'path/to/music_folder/f.mp3'

ff = FFmpeg()

output_file = ff.convert(inp, out)

print(output_file)

Advanced Usage

from pyffmpeg import FFmpeg

Use a global directory to store all converted files

ff = FFmpeg('path/to/app_folder')
ff.convert('path/to/music_folder/f.mp3', 'f.wav')

Overwrite (Default is set to True)

ff.overwrite = False # do not overwrite but exit immediately
