Usage

To encode a local file, you can mount the current path on the Docker host's filesystem as a volume inside the container like this:

$ docker run -v=`pwd`:/tmp/ffmpeg marciopuga/ffmpeg -i localfile.mp4 out.webm

You can create an alias so you use the Docker container like if FFmpeg is installed on your computer:

In ~/.bashrc:

alias ffmpeg='docker run -v=`pwd`:/tmp/ffmpeg marciopuga/ffmpeg'

Now we can execute FFmpeg with just:

$ ffmpeg -buildconf
