[solved] ffmpeg on multiple .aac files in directory using find
#1
Hi.

I have a folder with multiple .aac audio files. I plan to use them in a car stereo that is very picky on accepting files.

So I found out using ffmpeg to clean out any unused metadata and possible other non-auditible information using this command:
ffmpeg -i 'input.aac' -vn -c:a copy 'output.aac'

I want to be able to do this for several files at once. According to [url=http://"https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80851/how-do-i-run-a-command-on-multiple-files"]this thread in unix.stackexchange forum[/url], it should be easilly done by using the find command.

However - I have tried several variation of the command (using the example from unix.stackexchange forum), but without any success (ffmpeg claim error about file existing). This is the commands I have tried so far:
Code:
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy 2_{}
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy 2_{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{}\;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i '{}'  -vn -c:a copy 'NEW{}'\;

I usually got an error message like this (for every file):
NEW./input-file-name.aac: No such file or directory

I cannot 'see' the command that ffmpeg actually receive, so I cannot tell if there is an obviously error.
I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux Smile
