#Transcoder
Transcoder the command line audio / video transcoder tool
##Introduction Transcoder is a FFmpeg powered command line transcoding tool. It allows you to convert audio and video files between many formats.
##Installing
npm install transcoder -g
##USING
Transcoder is used as a stand-alone application. Now that you have Transcoder installed you can convert files using any of the following methods:
Convert an .avi to an .mp4
transcoder /path/to/video.avi /path/to/video.mp4
The above command will execute Transcoder and convert the video.avi file to a video.mp4 file using the appropriate encoder setup.
Convert a .mp3 to an .ogg
transcoder /path/to/audio.mp3 /path/to/audio.ogg
This will create an ogg encoded version of the audio.mp3 file specified.
Convert a .wav to an .aiff
transcoder /path/to/audio.wav /path/to/audio.aiff
This will convert audio.wav to audio.aiff.
##OPTIONS
Transcoder accepts command line options to control some of the transcoding process. transcoder --help will show all available options however, they are as follows:
- -f --format [format] container format (mp4)
- -c --codec [codec] video codec (libx264)
- -a --acodec [acodec] audio codec (aac)
- -s --size [size] video dimensions (320x240)
- -p --fps [fps] output frames per second (29.7)

Converting an mp4 to 320x240 in size:
