You need to

chmod 700 .ssh

Before it will work

Thanks, I’ll give that a read.

Admittedly I’m not very experienced using bash, I just throw together whatever seems to work!

Thanks for the tip. Suggestion for your script: use filename expansion put double quotes around the variable expansion:

for f in *.avi; do
	echo "Converting $f"
	ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec aac -vcodec mpeg4 -s 320x180 -strict experimental "output/${f:0:${#f}-3}mp4"
done

See: Bash Pitfalls #1: for i in $(ls *.mp3)

With the latest generation ipod/iphones with their high resolution “retina” display, use -s 640×360 as the video ouput size for better resolution (assuming the source is equal if not larger).

There are (optional) presets for ipod video conversion that come with ffmpeg. Look under /usr/share/ffmpeg/ and if found, you can add -vpre=

When using the aac audio codec, it is yes, because "encoder 'aac' is experimental and might produce bad results." If you omit the option, FFmpeg will give you a little message saying this, with the following suggestion: Add '-strict experimental' if you want to use it.

Is the -strict option obligatory?
