Certain FLV Files can't be Converted ?

[cheng]

Hi.

I have a problem converting flv files downloaded from one website.

I can view them but not convert them to whatever file format.

FLV files from other places can be converted without a problem.

Even Nero 8 won't recognise the files when I try to burn them to DVD or VCD.

FFmpeg says the the codec isn't reogignised or installed but I've got all codecs installed and can play and convert to nearly every known video file format except for these flv files.

Any suggestion are very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

no one will be able to help you unless you post a sample or a link to one of the flv's.

@cheng
What's used FFmpeg build?
What's info about this file from MediaInfo?
Any sample file?

.......the flv videos are adult content.

Is it ok to post a link here?

I don't know where to find what build the FFmpeg is, all I know it's the latest release from last January......

Try latest WinFF(gui for ffmpeg).

.......thanks a lot for this tip, I'll gave WinFF a try and it did the covertion right away.

Great Prgramm and much easier to use than just FFmpeg.

Srtrange though that FFmpeg didn't convert the files even though it says WinFF won't convert files that FFmpeg won't as well.

Thanks again very much.......

I have the same problem on some, I get an error that FLV info is not there or embedded. It plays fine in VLC. I guess they were either corrupted or during encode have missing info. I got the error from Moyea FLV converter.
