How to Create FLV files from AVI material ( Xvid / Divx )?

[devilcoelhodog]

Hello, dear all.

I never have tried such convertion from my xvid / divx material.

Can you point me some very good programs for that task, please?

I'm intend to produce nice flv videos. Maybe posting them into YouTube or similar sites.

Thanks.

best regards.

Well, "nice" is a point-of-view. ---
especially if your target audience is the YouTube World.

Anyway, the easiest way I know is, first, create a VP62 (or H264) .AVI file in VirtualDub,
and second, remux it into a .FLV with ffmpeg.

HTH.

You don't need to convert your videos in order to post them on YouTube... YouTube will do that for you.

Another service I like to use is www.blip.tv, because you can upload your DivX files and it will transcode them and push them out to other services, including YouTube. Also, it gives you a link to your file in the original format, so it's a great way to keep all the quality of your original file while making it available in Flash, too.

Blip.tv will also give you a direct link to the .flv once it finishes transcoding it online.

I have tried to use DVDFab to convert AVI files to flv.

It works. :P

If you know more programs that can produce nice results converting AVI to FLV files, point them.

Thanks.

Make mp4 with h264 video instead. More converters available and very good video quality. And yes it works in flash players. I use handbrake, xvid4psp and avidemux.

Hi, Baldrick.

So, it's possible to convert AVI files to mp4 with h264 video? Quality output is much better than flv's?

1- Can you tell me if some sites like YouTube and other XXX ones ( like xvideos) accept such kind of material to be viewed?

2- Can you give me some settings concerning about sound in such material? I mean: which audio formats, bit rates is proper for those videos?

thanks.
