There are many ways to convert media files from one format to another on Windows 10, including using the Command Prompt—thanks to ffmpeg. If you prefer commands over graphical user interfaces, here’s how to convert your audio and video files using the Command Prompt.
Set up FFmpeg to Convert Audio and Video Using the Command Prompt
By default, the Command Prompt doesn’t offer the option to convert your media files. You need to install a third-party utility to perform these conversions, and FFmpeg is a great utility to do this with. It’s open-source, cross-platform, and very popular.
Using FFmpeg, you can convert nearly all audio and video formats to many other file formats. To use this utility, you need to download it first, then add its path to your system variables.
