What do you mean by "Its Not Working"? Do you get any error? Have you tested convert.sh without the find?

The command in the convert.sh would move the converted file back to same file i.e. AnyFile.mp4 would get converted to tmp.3gp and then tmp.3gp would get moved back to AnyFile.mp4. You most likely you meant

ffmpeg -i "$1" -s 352x288 -vcodec h263 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 8000 -r 25 -ab 32k tmp.3gp && mv tmp.3gp `basename "$1" .mp4`

#!/bin/bash
rm -f tmp.3gp
ffmpeg -i "$1" -s 352x288 -vcodec h263 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 8000
-r 25 -ab 32k tmp.3gp && mv tmp.3gp `basename "$1" .mp4`
#
I Used This By find . -name "*.mp4" -exec convert.sh {} \;

Im Getting Error
Must supply at least one output file
/home/public_html/test2/convert.sh: line 4: -r: command not found

Ues this

#!/bin/bash

inputfilename="$1"
outputfilename=${inputfilename%\.*}.3gp

ffmpeg -i $inputfilename -s 352x288 -vcodec h263 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 8000 -r 25 -ab 32k -y $outputfilename

After Trying
#!/bin/bash

inputfilename="$1"
outputfilename=${inputfilename%\.*}.3gp

ffmpeg -i $inputfilename -s 352x288 -vcodec h263 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 8000 -r 25 -ab 32k -y $outputfilename

Im Getting This Error

./50: no such file or directory
/home/tamilmob/public_html/test2/convert.sh: line 7: -ar: command not found

The Directory Name Is 50 cent

But It Take Only 50 so it says no such directory

Do We Need To Change Anything In Code?
