Sure, but if it errors out no harm no foul, and don't pass any flags to overwrite the input file which I had not included above.
While I'm thinking about it, what is that flag? Because afaik ffmpeg can't overwrite and convert the file simultaneously, you have to use a temp file.
That's the point: you have to go out of your way to accidentally overwrite your input files with ffmpeg.
And no it indeed can't output to the same file as input.
