Unable to locate
1 De-multiplex the avi files with Avidemux2
2. Re-multiplex the output from Avidemux2 with 'mplex'
3 Convert the output of mplex into DVD-standard file structure with dvdauthor in Mepis 6.5
Avi video needs converting to mpeg video
Any help on conversion

I'm no digital video expert, but I think maybe the problem I've been having may be closely related to the one you're having now.

I've been unable to get Kino (or ffmpeg itself) to convert any video file format to .FLV (flash video) format with sound. Kino edits my videos just fine, and it converts them to .FLV just fine except that the resulting .FLV videos are completely silent. I spent hours and hours over several days, looking for an answer, and so far, the best one I can find says that Kino uses ffmpeg in order to convert audio to the mp3 format, but Ubuntu's version of ffmpeg (which is used in Mepis 6.5) doesn't have lame enabled for mp3 encoding, and mp3 is the type of sound that's used in .FLV, so that's why Kino's .FLV videos end up being silent.

I've seen a number of solutions that describe how to recompile Ubuntu's ffmpeg so that lame is enabled, but to do that apparently requires several dependencies that are newer than the versions than that are currently in the Mepis repositories. So I'm hoping that Mepis 7.0 (no due date, but hopefully later this year) will include ffmpeg with lame enabled for mp3 audio.

Does that sound like (no pun intended) it might have something to do with your problem?

Hi Computerbob

Have had success with converting a 54.mb Quicktime video to Mov file via
Keno
1. Keno open file Mov file Not a DV file > import it > Yes Keno Import

2. The AVI file untitled (Modified) by Keno.

Check that the video plays all the frames, before proceeding, in Keno

3. Export the file as Mpeg and Name the file
Look in Home folder for 469.7 mb video file

The finished video ready to play on DVD player

This should work for you

Thanks, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I must not have made myself clear. I've been unable to use Kino (or even ffmpeg itself) to convert AVI or DV videos to FLV (flash) format without losing their sound.

I thought maybe your problem might be related to mine, and that knowing that ffmpeg in Mepis doesn't seem to be able to convert sound to mp3 format might help you figure out your problem. But I guess maybe not.
