[opensuse] Converting FLV files (and others) to iPod native format?
Hello all! I am trying to convert FLV files downloaded from YouTube to be playable in an iPod classic. (and other movie types from other sources as well) My daughter downloads animated episodes and wants them on her iPod. This is how i have tried accomplish it: 1. She downloads whatever she wants converted on her computer (Running WindowsXP) 2. I run ffmpeg -i file.flv -f ipod file1.m4v on the file It outputs a mp4 file allright, but iTunes complains about it not being able to play on the iPod, 3. I run "Convert to iPod" in iTunes. This works, but is timeconsuming. I much rather have a nice little script doing it all. grabbing whatever she wants to convert, convert it, and deliver something that can be uploaded directly via iTunes,s kipping the conversion step in iTunes. Anyone who has this working? /Rikard

Try something like this (with MEncoder): mencoder -vf crop=704:336:10:72,yadif,scale=-10,harddup -of lavf \ -lavfopts format=mp4 -af lavcresample=44100 -oac faac -faacopts \ mpeg=4:object=2:br=160:raw -ovc x264 -x264encopts \ global_header:bitrate=1381:vbv_maxrate=1500:vbv_bufsize=2000:keyint=500:threads=auto:subq=7:me=umh:level_idc=13:nocabac -frames 500 -o ipod.mp4 or you can try mp4box which is part of the gpac project. Sorry fo the formatted because of the long lines. Charles
