 Well, there are some command line tools you can use like ffmpeg. Also,
 there is a linux version of Handbrake that can convert just about any
 video/audio streaming format to mp4. You can then set it up for either 480p
 or 720p depending on your machines display requirements.

Re: flv to mp4

add this to the ffmpeg command to scale to 720

-vf scale=-1:720

for 480
-vf scale=-1:480

Re: flv to mp4

I am now converting. Not knowing what I'm doing I accepted the defaults
changing the resolution limit to '480p NTSC'. That sounds right (I guess).

well, I searched the man page for 'resolution', '720' & '480' but to my

I will have to take a close look at the ffmpeg man page. I am sure there is a

Well, there are some command line tools you can use like ffmpeg. Also, there is 
a linux version of Handbrake that can convert just about any video/audio 
streaming format to mp4. You can then set it up for either 480p or 720p 
depending on your machines display requirements.

Re: flv to mp4

[Bob Elzer via PLUG-discuss]

Are you on dialup ?
I didn't say pick one, I'm sure the lowest quality will work, but you want
to know what your system can handle, so keep downloading the next quality
up until you get stuttering. Or try the middle and go up if it works or
down if it doesn't. Then you can work on what you need to convert it.

Re: flv to mp4

[Bob Elzer via PLUG-discuss]

You need to figure out what your system can play without it stuttering,
I would suggest you go here
https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/
and download each of the versions of the movie and play each one. If it
stutters, then rule out the settings for that format.
When you find a suitable format. Duplicate those settings in your
conversion for your video.
Open the video in VLC and type Ctrl-i  then click the codec tab, this will
tell you the codec info.

Re: flv to mp4

Well, the default if removing -sameq produces something with a little
better result but it is still to resource intensive for my puter. Is .mov a
little more basic? (I can't figure out the man page)

flv to mp4

[Michael via PLUG-discuss]

I recorded a instruction session with someone today and my computer can't
handle the video output. The sound is OK but the video plays in spurts and
then it is just frozen. I looked up how to convert the .flv file to an .mp4
(ffmpeg -i filename.flv -sameq -ar 22050 filename.mp4) but would taking out
the -sameq produce a lower quality video which might play on my weak
machine? Should I put another option in? How would I create a lower quality
video if just removing the -sameq option doesn't play?
