Need a Codec Converter Utility

Contemplating Rob · 04-02-2008, 10:00 AM

Hi,

I have an *.avi file(s) using Indeo 5 codec. I need to convert it to a cinepak codec format in batch mode (there's lots) on Suse 9/10 system.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Rob.

Try ffmpeg. It should be available as a precompiled package, if it's not installed already. The basic command would probably be something like:

Code:

for i in $( ls ); do
    ffmpeg -i "$i" output-file.aaa
done

where aaa is the extension of cinepak files.
