The below message is being displayed while using a lot of ffmpeg commands in Ubuntu 20.04. Commands like $ ffmpeg -version $ ffmpeg -i video.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mp4 video.mp4

You can use the global option -hide_banner:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -i video.ts -c copy video.mp4

Note that this is a cursed option: if you ask for help and include -hide_banner it will hide very useful info. You will then be asked to omit this option and resubmit your command and the complete console output which will delay you getting an answer.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
