Re: [FFmpeg-user] Can I convert from .ram to .mp4?

[David]

Thanks for the courtesy of replying, Rodney!

Turns out I'd not noticed that I was still in the bin directory when I 
invoked first invoked ffmpeg.exe.  When I copied the executable into the 
folder where only the 317.ram was, ffmpeg worked as it ought to.


I'd not known about the user forum's proscription against pasting 
screenshots, so that won't happen again.


I think I did, in a later post, paste the TEXT from the PowerShell 
window into a message to the user forum.


Again, thanks for your kindness in replying!

Regards,
Dave

I have the ffmpeg.exe file in the same folder as the 317.ram, so do you
think that should work?  I'll paste here the PowerShell window showing

Dave,

As others have suggested, you've not really provided enough information to
properly diagnose this, but I'm also pretty sure this is a Windows problem,
and one that I've seen recently with other video editing software.

Are you using a recent build of Windows 10? If so, you're possibly running
into an issue with Windows "Protected Folders", where "suspicious"
applications (i.e. basically ones not written or signed by Microsoft) are
denied write permissions to folders containing user data. This is presumably
to guard against ransomware encrypting users' files.

Search for Protected Folders in Settings - you should be able to find recently
blocked programs and add ffmpeg to the list of permitted applications. I only
know this because my son recently had this same issue with video editing
software on his laptop.

Next time you need to ask for help, though, please follow the pointers given
by others and include the command line you're using along with full, uncut
console output from ffmpeg (copied as text, not a screenshot).

I don’t know what the guy in the video said, but I think that would only make 
sense if you had a folder owned by you (regular user, not root or admin or 
whatever it is in windows) and a static ffmpeg.exe in the folder. If you have 
it in a folder in your path env var, then most likely you only want executable 
binaries there, not media files.

This is just my personal opinion, but more often than not, people on this list 
include contributors to the FFmpeg project, (basically authors of the program) 
and are more knowledgeable and experienced than a random YouTuber you might 
find.

Best regards,
Ted Park

I can also drill a hole in my knee

nobody right in his mind is running sofwtare with admin permissions,
especially not video encoding software and nobody right in his mind
gives his ordinary user write permsisions to binaries

if you want to do so adjust the permissions and why you don't have
permissions on that folder especially when you are using Windows is your
problem and not one of ffmpeg

20 years ago i managed to adjust my path as needed and learn how to deal
with permissions on Win2000 weeks after buy my first PC

well, why would one place output files in a bin directory? how is it a
ffmpeg issue that you obviosuly are not allowed to create a file there?

Please avoid sending screenshots to this mailing list (it sounds
as if you considered that), instead copy the command line you
tested and everything that was printed in the PowerShell
window and paste the text into an answer to your email.

If you don't know what top-posting means, find out what
it means and in any case avoid it here.

you didn't paste anything but "Permission denied" sounds not like an

It has been a long time since I interacted with real media **
so -- i could be off base here --
but isn't a file.ram   a url pointing to a real server , a txt file ?
( if so then to "hear" the actual audio has to be served from a server )
is actually binary audio data?
can you play it?- hear it?

[FFmpeg-user] Can I convert from .ram to .mp4?

[David]

I've watched the video and invoked a simple command:

ffmpeg -i 317.ram 317.mp4
which the Windows PowerShell said I had to change to
.\ffmpeg -i 317.ram 317.mp4
which I did.

I have the ffmpeg.exe file in the same folder as the 317.ram, so do you 
think that should work?  I'll paste here the PowerShell window showing 
"Permission denied"
