Windows 10: How to Convert Music and Videos From Right Click/Context Menu (using FFmpeg)
Have you ever wanted to quickly convert a music or video file - say, from .wav to .mp3, .mov to .mp4, or .mp4 to .mp3 - but didn't want to use a bloated third-party media converter?
In this video, I'll show you how to add options to your Windows Explorer right click / context menu. These call a batch script which converts between formats using FFmpeg - a free, open source and very popular library.
CAUTION:
This tutorial involves a few minor edits to the registry, and therefore assumes a certain level of technical skill. If you follow my instructions, nothing should go wrong, but take care.
