This looks handy.. along with the odd gist of "convert mkv to mp4" that I have to use every other week.
Quite telling that these tools need to exist to make ffmpeg actually usable by humans (including very experienced developers).

If one has fewer such commands its as simple as just bash aliases and just adding it to ~/.bashrc
alias convertmkvtomp4='ffmpeg command'
then just run it anytime with just that alias phrase i use ffmpeg a lot so i have my own dedicated cli snippet tool for me, to quickly build out complex pipeline in easier language
the best part is i have --dry-run then exposes the flow + explicit commands being used at each step, if i need details on whats happening and verbose output at each step
But yea ffmpeg is awesome software, one of the great oss projects imo. working with video is hellish and it makes it possible.
