MP4toMOV

This shell script lets the user convert their .mp4 video files to .mov video files.

Usecases

BlackMagic's DaVinci Resolve does not have support for .mp4 files on Linux, so this might come in handy if someone plans to edit videos with DaVinci Resolve on Linux.

How to use

Download or clone (git clone https://github.com/AAVVIronAlex/MP4-to-MOV.git) and then go the .sh file to the directory your video is stored in, use the cd command to do that. When at the location in the termninal simply type ./mp4_to_mov_converter.sh in the terminal.

This might take some time depending on the speed of your computer.

After the video has been converted it will appear in the folder called transcoded in the same directory as the ./mp4_to_mov_converter.sh file is.

Requirements

To run this shell script you will need the ffmpeg terminal program.

If you do not have ffmpeg installed you will have to download it.
