I was tired of using the web forms that my webhost provided to convert video to .flv format. So, I wrote this script which works fine and dandy:
#!/bin/bash ############################## # VIDEO CONVERTER (FLV) # # gi_james@strickstuff.com # # www.strickstuff.com # ############################## # all files that start with .m (eg mpeg mpg mod) # change to whatever you want... for file in ./*.mpg; # encode files and rename them to FLV do ffmpeg -i $file -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -aspect 16:9 -y ${file%.m*}.flv # all done! done
This makes it a little bit easier...
Now, since my camera shoots in 16:9 format, I decided to keep that aspect ratio, this can be changed to 4:3. We'll see how it looks.
