Convert video

[The Little Guy]

Is this the right place for this (first post)?

For some reason some of my videos do not convert, I would like to convert them to flv, some are .mov, some are .mpg, some .avi.

I have tried two, the one that uploads, has a codec, and the one that doesn't, doesn't have a codec (checked with GSpot v2.70a) does that have something to do with it?

On my web server, I use this in an exec() function (executes command line code)

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg2video -i '../videos/file.mpg' -s 320x240 -b 500k -vcodec mpeg2video '../videos/file.flv'

Any help would be AWESOME!
Thanks.

Not really. The ffmpegX forum (note the X) is for users of the Mac OS X graphic user interface application "designed to operate over 20 Unix open-source video and audio processing tools including ffmpeg, mpeg2enc and mencoder."

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg2video -i '../videos/file.mpg' -s 320x240 -b 500k -vcodec mpeg2video '../videos/file.flv'

I doubt that you'll get what you want if you force .flv files to contain mpeg-2 video.

Try

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i '../videos/file.mpg' -f flv -vcodec flv -s 320x240 -b 500 -ar 22050 '../videos/file.flv'

Nope... That didn't work...

What can I say... The parameters/options (except for the paths) work like that for me with my pre-compiled ffmpeg that is included with ffmpegX.

try and convert that... that is the file that doesn't convert. to flv.

Video: mjpeg, 15 fps, Audio: pcm_u8 (8-bit Unsigned integer/araw), 7875 Hz, mono.
It converts fine for me, but I escaped the exclamation mark (\!).
I think it is a filename issue beyond the swear word...
