Bash scripting 6 – Strip sound from video

I have further improved the script from the previous post, the text that is appended to the filename is now set via a variable.

echo strip sound content from video
echo
append=nosnd # set text to append to file

for file in *.MP4 # apply to all files ending with MP4
do
    filename="${file%.*}"
    ffmpeg -i $file -c copy -an ${filename}$append.MP4
done

As a further enhancement,

ffmpeg -i $file -c copy -an ${filename}_$append.MP4

Will put an underscore before the appended text.
