ffmpy is a simple FFmpeg command line wrapper. It implements a Pythonic interface for FFmpeg command line compilation and uses Python's subprocess to execute the compiled command line.

ffmpy requires Python 3.8 or greater.

pip install ffmpy

from ffmpy import FFmpeg
ff = FFmpeg(
    inputs={'input.mp4': None},
    outputs={'output.avi': None}
)
ff.run()

This will take the input.mp4 file in the current directory as the input, change the video container from MP4 to AVI without changing any other video parameters, and create a new output file output.avi in the current directory.
