How to convert video on python to .mp4 without ffmpeg?

I need to convert videos to .mp4 format I used to ffmpeg but it converts for too long. Is there are a way to convert video to .mp4 in python without ffmpeg?

Solution

  • UPD moviepy depends on ffmpeg too (

    ==

    Zulko/moviepy

    pip install MoviePy

    import moviepy.editor as moviepy
clip = moviepy.VideoFileClip("myvideo.avi")
clip.write_videofile("myvideo.mp4")

    As per MoviePy documentation, there is no ffmpeg dependencies:

    MoviePy depends on the Python modules Numpy, imageio, Decorator, and tqdm, which will be automatically installed during MoviePy's installation.

    ImageMagick is not strictly required, but needed if you want to incorporate texts. It can also be used as a backend for GIFs, though you can also create GIFs with MoviePy without ImageMagick.

    PyGame is needed for video and sound previews (not relevant if you intend to work with MoviePy on a server but essential for advanced video editing by hand).

    For advanced image processing, you will need one or several of the following packages:

    • The Python Imaging Library (PIL) or, even better, its branch Pillow.
