Audio-Video-Transcoding-using-ffmpeg-on-Arch-Linux

Pre-requisutes:
ffmpeg binaries because this is what does the heavy lifting.
ex: installing ffmpeg using pacman on Arch Linux: pacman -S ffmpeg
Should be similar in Unbuntu and other distros.

1. I can convert the video codec. ex: transcode from .mov to mp4 or .avi to .mov etc.
2. I can extract the audio stream from a video file. This comes in handy if you are trying to extract the music file from a youtube music video. 

I am writing the script for downloading videos from youtube using youtube-dl (command line) in another entry.
