FFmpeg
Convert and compress video and audio from the terminal.
// WHAT IT'S FOR
FFmpeg is an open-source program you run in the terminal to record, convert and stream audio and video. You type one line with the input file and the output file, say MP4 to MP3, and it does the conversion. Use it to compress a heavy video, pull the audio out of a video, or repeat the same conversion across many files.
