new free flv converter

[guns1inger]

Aside from the spamming aspect of your post, I don't like the fact you have Alexa in your screenshots. Does this mean your little advert free program is happily sending other information back to home base ?

Full disclosure would be nice, before the mods lock this post for spamming.

The host name is registered in Uzbekistan, which is part of the former USSR.
I would advise tremendous thought be given before downloading this product as anything that comes from the ex-USSR may be simply a front end to a program that hijacks your PC and uses it for spamming.

The dos box pic shows that it's a gui for ffmpeg but that doesn't make it safe nor does it mean it's bad. There should be no reason to license this app since it's using ffmpeg.

Not to steal your thunder but...

Almost anyone can design a FFmpeg or Mplayer/Mencoder gui with only a little programming or more crudely, using simple (.bat) batch files for each type of conversion.

This example: converts flv to mpeg4 and puts dx50 as fourcc (my player likes it). Converts audio to mp3 128 bitrate.

Use notepad and insert this then save as .bat extension (use save-as "all files" or it will add a .txt extension.. Make sure ffmpeg is in the same directory as the bat file. Change the input and output file name and directory to match your location and adjust the variables as needed.


ffmpeg -i "c:\Input.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800000 -s 640x480 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output.avi"
pause

some options used here:
-i = input file
-vcodec = mpeg4. The ouput video codec. I use ffdshow mpeg4 but you can use xvid or any dshow video codec on your system
-b = 800000 = new video bitrate
-s = 640x480. This is the frame size if you want to change it from the original.
-vtag = force fourcc ("xvid" or "DX50") instead of codec default
-ar = audio sample rate ie 22050, 44100 or 48000 HZ (just some common examples)
-ab = audio bitrate ie... 64, 128,192,256
-ac = 1 mono, 2 stereo
-acodec = select an audio codec in this case mp3
-vol = should be obvious

The pause is so you can read messages in the dos console when the task is over or the dos box will close by itself. You can type "exit" to close it.

If you string a bunch of these lines without the pause in between and put them all in one batch (.bat) file they will convert each file one after the other so this way you can set it up todo multiple files while you are away.

ie...

ffmpeg -i "c:\Input1.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800000 -s 640x480 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output1.avi"
ffmpeg -i "c:\Input2.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200000 -s 720x480 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output2.avi"
ffmpeg -i "c:\Input3.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 600000 -s 640x480 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 192 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output3.avi"
ffmpeg -i "c:\Input4.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800000 -s 320x240 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output4.avi"
ffmpeg -i "c:\Input5.flv" -vcodec mpeg4 -b 400000 -s 640x480 -vtag DX50 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vol 100 "C:\Output5.avi"
pause


Many more options are available and similar conversions can be done using mencoder.

It's much nicer and more flexilble with a gui but this just shows what one could do if they are uncomfortable using a tool designed by someone else.

btw) Filenames should not be in quotes ( " ") I pulled some of this from my VB ffmpeg / mencoder conversion GUI where building command strings requires that all parameters be in quotes or Chr(34) but it's different when running bat files directly.
