Flash to DVD

[shanewh]

I've successfully encoded one flash video to produce a VIDEO_TS folder but another flash video from a different source only produces a file with extension .flv.ff.m2v and no VIDEO_TS folder is produced. The .flf.ff.m2v file is without sound. In both cases I used the mpeg2enc encoder. Any ideas please?

The log end below looks suspicious; due to the message "cannot save file" but I've written both files above to the same location.

[Case]

error: could not create save file!

The log doesn't reveal (to me) a reason for this to occur.

The .flf.ff.m2v file is without sound.

This is normal for .m2v files, as the video is converted first. After that, the audio should be converted to a separate file (often .ac3). Finally these two should get muxed together into a .mpg file.
I wonder what this '.flf' file is, as Flash video files usually have a '.flv' suffix.

Are you sure the source file has audio (see ffmpegX Summary tab), and is it properly recognized? What is the audio codec in the source file?
