making a video out of an audio file and a single image:
$ ffmpeg -loop 1 -i cover.jpg -i audio_file.mp3 -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -shortest -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
Note: the image must have a height that’s divisible by 2.
I’ve owned and recommended System76 hardware many times, but they named their OS “Pop!_OS” and absolutely insist that everyone write it exactly like that. I just can’t interpret that as anything other than “fuck you, users!” and I don’t understand how it could possibly be a good strategy to be so openly hostile to their own customers.
