Reduce the size of a Avi video
Posted by rolf on Tuesday, 5 January 2016The easiest command I found, is using avconv. To install avconv in Ubuntu, open a terminal (Alt+Ctrl+t) and enter
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
To convert a video from .avi to .mp4, just use
avconv -i InputVideoName.avi outputVideoName.mp4
To change the size of the video you can add the -s flag, e.g.
avconv -i InputVideoName.avi -s 720x540 outputVideoName.mp4
