ffmpegX and H264

[aholly]

I am trying to convert H264 movies to FLV format using ffmpegX. When I convert the same movie as an MPEG4 to FLV it works fine. But the conversion from H264 completes instantly and produces a zero kb file.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Click the blue "i" in the ffmpegX Progress window. Check if the last line in the log reads "Codec type mismatch for mapping". If so, check post #1510792 for a solution.

Thanks! That info in the second post did the trick. Now onto trolling through the forum for optimal FLV encode settings....

I am getting the same problem - instant conversion with a 0kb file

From the info link I get this error

Number of stream maps must match number of output streams

Your type of conversion expects a video+audio input, but it seems your source file only has video?

[garychild]

Yes this is true, there is only video - I will try a file that has audio too.

in the meantime - how would I change the settings to change a video only file - it is a silent animation.

Thanks for your reply

If you have QuickTime Pro, you could add a 00:04:54.3 silent audio track to your video-only file, save it and convert that.
