ffmpeg and converting videos


Okay I am trying to convert a mp4 file into 3gp.

Quote:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -s 176x144 output.3gp
and the error received was :
Code:
[libopencore_amrnb @ 0x85531c0] Only 8000Hz sample rate supported
Then, I tried to change the sample rate and my command became

Quote:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -s 176x144 -sample_rate 8000Hz output.3gp
But still I am getting the same error, what am I doing wrong?

Not precisely a Slackware question is it?

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -s 176x144 -ab 12.2k -ar 8000 -ac 1 output.3gp

BTW the 3gp container will take aac sound which is far superior to amr.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GP_and_3G2

If the video is mpeg4 and the audio is aac, try
Code:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.3gp
Or to encode to x264
Code:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -b:v 2000k output.3gp
-acodec for audio, -vf crop=, possibilities are almost endless.

I was looking to join slackware forum but as officially their forum has shifted here, I often forget that I am not on a "specific" Slackware forum but the Linux Forum.

And thanks that worked.
