Hello I am having trouble with FLV's

[DocAlucard]

Hi, I found this site when I was looking for information on how to encode FLV's to another format. I followed two different topics, and neither one will work. The only method that will open the file is with AviSync and VirtualDub, but the file always ends up being 500 MB+ and the sound isn't synchronized to what's on screen.

Because this is a Myspace video, I used the same method as someone else suggested (directshow 29.97 fps), but it does not work. Can someone give me some advice or tell me what I am doing wrong?

I also need a small file. The FLV is 18 MB and I end up with a 3000% increase.

try messing with that riva flv encoder

Any file type that you convert it too is going to result in a huge increase. The reason FLV is used is because of the small file size.

To get a smaller file size pick a compression codec and a suitable bitrate.

The Riva FLV Encoder was what I tried first, and it couldn't open the file.

Video file size is all about video and audio compression codecs. If you want small file sizes use MPEG4 codecs like Divx, Xvid, or h.264 for the video, and MPEG 1 layer 2 (MP2) or layer 3 (MP3) for the audio.

I have converted FLV files with AVISynth and VirtualDubMod. To keep audio sync you usually do have to specify the frame rate in your AVISynth script. It may also be necessary to use the convertfps argument:

DirectShowSource("filename.flv", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

Of course, you need to figure out exactly what the frame rate of your FLV file is. I usually do this by playing the video in Media Player Classic (you need an FLV splitter -- but you probably already have one since you can open FLV files with AVISynth) and examining the Video Render properties. The value bounces around but you can tell if it should be one of the usual values 23.976, 25, or 29.97. You occasionally see half those values too.

How to download myspace video from myspace.com?

I think I can convert them to other format.
