Convert Video to MP4 npm module

A Nodejs library to convert videos to mp4 on Windows 7/10/11.

Only works on the backend, that is, on Nodejs context, and this does not support the browser context because of an external dependency.

Dependencies

1. You need to use Windows

2. You need to install ffmpeg

3. You need to have the video in the file system

Usage

First, install with npm

npm i convert-video-to-mp4

You can now run it as a javascript module:

const converter = require("convert-video-to-mp4");
converter.convertVideoFileToMp4("./file.avi");

This will take a few seconds depending on the size of the file.avi file, but will eventually parse the video file and output a new file on the same folder with the name file.mp4.

The function only resolves if it was successful, otherwise it just fails.

Testing

You can run automated tests with:

npm run test

If everything went right you should see:
