I like to use simple commands (added to Thunar custom actions), like ffmpeg -i %f %f.mp3
.
I can replace mp3
with flac
for example – but what other output extensions can be used?
Also, in Thunar custom actions I can select which files to involve the command (audio, video, etc) but which exactly are the input extensions that can be used?
I have posted a similar question on avconv
.

There is an inbuilt list of codecs supported from the version of ffmpeg you have installed.
In a terminal type
This will give you a rather long list of supported formats beginning e.g. like below. All codecs listed with
D
can be used as input, all those listed withE
can be used as output.For more information on codecs, and details on their usage see:
