How to run windows cmd command

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_videoFormatConverter_clicked()
{
    QStringList inputPaths = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames();

    
    int outputIndex = inputPaths[0].lastIndexOf('/');
    QString outputPath = inputPaths[0].left(outputIndex + 1);
    outputPath.replace(QChar('\\'),QChar('/'));


    QString makeFolder = "mkdir \"" + outputPath + "outputs\"";
    QString ffmpegCode = //ffmpeg code get input parameters from QStringList inputPaths and output to the outputs folder


    qDebug().noquote() << makeFolder;
    qDebug().noquote() << ffmpegCode;


    QProcess process;
    process.execute(makeFolder);
    process.execute(ffmpegCode);
   

}

I would like to run the following ffmpeg code:

mkdir outputs
//ffmpeg code

The input parameters are correct (makeFolder, ffmpegCode).

The code is basically convert video format to .mkv format.

Why do you not use QDir::mkpath() to create directory?
So you can verify is directory creation was successfull.

Use internal QDir::mkpath() to create a directory, no point running a mkdir command, as @KroMignon said.

For the ffmpeg you need to use whatever the command-line is to run that, with appropriate parameters, and across multiple files, if it accepts that. We don't know what that command line needs to look like. Practice it from a Command Prompt till you get it right, then you're ready to pass it to QProcess.

Note that QProcess::exexcute() is static, so if you use that it it is misleading to declare a QProcess process;.
