I want to be able to do something like this:

var converter = require('converter');

converter.convert({
  from: 'avi',
  to: 'mp4',
  path: '/myvideo.avi',
  newPath: '/newvideo.mp4',
  error: function(err) {},
  success: function() {
    console.log('success!');
  }
});

Thanks!

Well, for one converter converts between xml, json, and yaml. So, you won't be able to convert an avi to an mp4 with that.

However, I have used node to spawn a child ffmpeg process for this very thing. Just an fyi, if you do choose to use ffmpeg via a child process and want to watch the log for progress and debugging, you will need to watch stderr. Ffmpeg reserves stdout to optionally stream the output of the conversion.

FFMPEG is good thing for play with video.

Try this mand.

exec("ffmpeg -i filePath/fileName.ext filePath/newFileName.mp4");

You can set your other preset also.
