Re: [ubuntu-in] encoding to flash videos
Mencoder should work -- I use ffmpeg for most of my encoding, and that works as well: is probably a good idea to re-compile ffmpeg from source, latest SVN, using instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg then something like: $ffmpeg -i blah.rm blah.mp4 should work (if all is hunky dory -- never had to deal with RealMedia files myself... :) ) again, man ffmpeg will give you all you need as well and I think the choice between mencoder and ffmpeg is upto you -- I prefer ffmpeg, but sometimes need to fall-back to mencoder - and am sure its vice-versa.. Best've luck in the crazy world of video encoding:-) -Sanjay On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 11:23 AM, binoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > have you tried mencoder. check if mplayer can play the rm file. > i use the following to convert my videos from camcorder to a lower quality > to save on my mobile or web > mencoder source.avi -sws 2 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts > vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=350 -vf scale=320:240 -ofps 18 -o output.avi > > you might not need the -vf scale . or you can try using -oac copy > I dont think I have a rm file right now to try, but i believe it should > work > > the mencoder/mplayer man page has all the information you will ever need. > Then there's also google. > > > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 1:51 PM, Linux Lingam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > [snip] > > > > encoding to flv from ffmpeg works. > > but i wonder how to transcode a *.rm file (realmedia video) to mpeg1 > > or mpeg2, or even mpeg4. > > > > any tips, please? > > > > tia > > > > niyam > > > > -- > > ubuntu-in mailing list > > ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com > > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > > > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] encoding to flash videos
have you tried mencoder. check if mplayer can play the rm file. i use the following to convert my videos from camcorder to a lower quality to save on my mobile or web mencoder source.avi -sws 2 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=350 -vf scale=320:240 -ofps 18 -o output.avi you might not need the -vf scale . or you can try using -oac copy I dont think I have a rm file right now to try, but i believe it should work the mencoder/mplayer man page has all the information you will ever need. Then there's also google.

Wonder why.

[ubuntu-in] encoding to flash videos
Hello All, Can someone give the full command using ffmpeg or mencoder to encode an ASF or mpg or mp4 file to a flash video (flv) file suitable to upload to various video sites? Sincerely, Moz -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
