Strick's Ramblings

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.
