was looking to bulk convert some files and reduce the bitrate to 60% of original. Thought I could use ffmpeg but in order to do this quickly would need ffmpeg to be able to read the bitrate which I thought may be in a bit_rate variable and multiply it by .60 and pass that to ffmpeg for the bitrate to encode in. Is this possible? Thought bit_rate was a variable but wasn't sure or how to use it in ffmpeg.
