Transcode

I just needed a way to shrink a video 640×480 video to 320×240 using command line, and found transcode. A really powerful command line tool for video editing on Linux.

transcode -F mpeg4 -y ffmpeg -Z 320×240 -E 44100,16 -i video.mpg -o video-small.mpg

Update: here’s an article on it on Linux Journal.
