使用ffmpeg作为Python子进程并“签入”转换的简单示例

Question

我正在寻找一个大目录的电影从一种格式到另一种格式，并检查转换的状态。我在用Python编程。在

像这样：

>> m = MovieGenerator()
>> m.convertMovie('/path/to/movie/movie1.avi')
>> print m.status
>> 35 frames completed

这是否可能（或建议）？有没有人有一个使用ffmpeg作为子进程的例子？在

一旦转换发生，是否有任何方法可以“检入”转换的状态（例如，已完成多少帧）在

对于一个大的电影目录，我将使用multiprocessing.Pool，来设置一个pool worker。然后使用subprocess转换文件。我使用以下脚本批量执行AVI到MKV的转换：

#!/usr/bin/env python
