How to convert flv files?
can any one suggest a way or any software by which i can convert flv files to any other format.
I am using fedora 8 and will prefer using a rpm package for any kind of software installation. |
mplayer/mencoder should be able to assist with that request.
Cheers, Tink |
ffmpeg can convert some flash movies. I found that it did not work for all, but works for most.
ffmpeg is a command line tool. To use it, open a terminal and cd to the directory where you have your video file. For example, lets say you have a vido in flv format in your Videos sub-directory in your home directory called "myvideo.flv". To convert it to mpeg open a terminal and enter these commands: Code:
cd Videos Code:
ffmpeg -i myvideo.flv -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 myvideo.avi |
VLC Player on linux can play .flv files
I just downloaded a video from youtube and hit with same question.
VLC player on linux rescued me ;-) Enjoy Rohit |
Try something like this:
mencoder -of lavf -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=800:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -o movie.flv movie.avi Oops, I read the question wrong. I thought you wanted to encode to .flv |
Here's a script I use to convert flv to divx or xvid:
Code:
#!/bin/sh |
This script ran, but I can't find the transcoded video file, it's not in the original .flv folder, it's not in Videos folder and locate '...' command doesn't seem to be able to locate it.
Any thoughts? Thanks! |
You did better then me, I could never get it to run. I guess I didn't know the command line syntax it needed.
I get this error; Quote:

basically after copy-paste to gedit, all I did was to type: sh [path of script] -xvid [path of .flv]
But I just got the conversion problem fixed with WinFF, a pre-installed app on Xubuntu. |

Thanks for the tip... |

I'm not sure if Debian can use apt-get to install new packages (they probably can, since Ubuntu are Debian based and they work this way), if so, then execute:
sudo apt-get install winff it's a GUI frontend for video transcoding. |

In easy questions (which is well answered by moderators & senior members) why everyone tries to give the answer and OP does not reply second time? :(
I think issue had been solved till post #3 Even there was no need to put this comment too but I couldn't stop myself to write. If moderators doesn't find it suitable, please remove it. |
