def convert_avi_to_mp4(avi_file.avi):
   mp4_file = None

Answer 1

you can do something like this..

import os

def convert_avi_to_mp4(avi_file_path, output_name):
    os.popen("ffmpeg -i '{input}' -ac 2 -b:v 2000k -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -b:a 160k -vprofile high -bf 0 -strict experimental -f mp4 '{output}.mp4'".format(input = avi_file_path, output = output_name))
    return True
