ffmpeg error: No such file or directory

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 474 views

I asked the same question before, but I was advised to put a command on it, so I'm reposting it.

I would like to compress mp4 with ffmpeg and eventually convert it to VOB, but I get the following error.
The original file name is original.mp4 for convenience.

We are looking forward to hearing from experts who understand what's wrong.

"original.mp4:No such file or directory" is an error that the specified file cannot be found.

Move the video file to the same folder as ffmpeg.exe before running it or
Alternatively, try the following method: "Go to the folder with the video file" and then "Call FFmpeg in the full path."

C:\>cd Folder with Movies

C:\Folder with Videos > C:\Users\USER\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -ioriginal.mp4-crf10compressed.mp4

After that, try starting ffmpeg.exe using @cubick's procedure.

Originally, it is not troublesome to add a directory where ffmpeg.exe is placed in the environment variable PATH with advanced system settings→environment variable→user environment variable...
