Introduction

This is a Zentiy dialog script wrapper around ffmpeg. It was written for my father who wanted to convert FLAC and OGG files to MP3 for his media player.

Features in v4:

• Extension select before folder.
• Filter on extension
• Check if files exist in folder.
• Added .flv to input format (Youtube ripped videos)
• Added .aac to input/output format
• Quality selector for ffmpeg
• Removed folder check.
• Added nautilus open when converting finished.

Note that you'll need zenity and ffmpeg:

sudo apt-get install zenity ffmpeg
