I am new to Bash scripts.
I am trying to create a script to use avconv to convert mkv files to mp4
file.
Run one at a time the command runs fine.
When I execute this script I get an error about an unknown parameter. I
am guessing that the expansion with the filename variables is failing.
Can someone help me correct?
Thank you!
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: convert file to mp4
shopt -s nullglob
ext='.mp4'
for f in *.mkv
do
   base=$(basename $f .mkv)
   nFname=$base".mp4"
   echo $nFname
   avconv "-i $f -c:v libx264 -c:a copy $nFname"
done
Thank you for the replies. Simply removing the quotes did the trick! :)
