##  Installation

```bash

$ npm install --global ffmpeg-progressbar-cli

```

##  Usage

The installation process adds the `ffmpeg-bar` command to your system.   

This is a transparent wrapper, passing all commands to `ffmpeg`.

To use it, simply launch `ffmpeg-bar` instead of `ffmpeg`, or replace  `ffmpeg` with `ffmpeg-bar` inside your scripts.

As long as no errors are encountered, the output of  `ffmpeg-bar` will   consist of a progress bar, the estimated time until process completion and a percentage.

###### Examples

```bash

$> ffmpeg-bar -i input.mp4 output.avi

```

```bash

$> ffmpeg-bar -i input.avi -b:v 64k -bufsize 64k output.avi

```

```bash

$> ffmpeg-bar -i in.mkv -map_metadata:s:a 0:g out.mkv

```

##  Configuration

For configuration purposes, `ffmpeg-progressbar-cli` exposes these environmental variables:

##### `BAR_FILENAME_LENGTH`

The maximum number of characters of the filename label displayed next to the progress bar beam *(default: 20)*

###### Example

```bash

$> BAR_FILENAME_LENGTH=7 ffmpeg-bar -i in.mp4 output.mp4

```

##### `BAR_BEAM_RATIO `

The share of (available) horizontal display real estate the progress bar beam should occupy *(default: 0.75)*

###### Example

```bash

$> BAR_BAR_SIZE_RATIO=0.5 ffmpeg-bar -i in.mp4 output.mp4

```

##  Requirements
