      Lol, apparently it is hard. You were supposed to enter

      convert 001.jpg example.pdf

      And

      ffmpeg -i rock.mp4 rock.avi

      By putting the “and” in the commands you just caused an error lol

        I didn’t put the “and” in the commands, I copied and pasted them from the comment above, but thank you for illustrating my point so very well.

          Yes you did, but you copy pasted two different commands connected with “and”.

          The word “and” isn’t meant to be typed into the cli. They’re stringing together two different lines.

          but thank you for illustrating my point so very well.

          If your point was that it’s easy to copy and paste I’m confused how I helped.

          It is easy to copy and paste though. People generally format the commands like I did instead of in the middle of a sentence like OP did where you can make parsing mistakes.

            My point is that if I had followed the instructions it wouldn’t have worked. Which is what always happens.
