[ffmpeg] Fastest conversion from flv

[stieg]

I need to convert files from .flv to whatever format in the shortest amount of time possible. I guess I could lower the bitrate, but that would produce lousy videos.

So any ideas? All is welcome

No no you don't understand. I wonder what codec is the fastest to convert TO from flv. I don't need any GUI.

seems like an incomplete question to me,

also a peculiar request (if not ridiculous)

this should be plenty fast:

ffmpeg -i input.flv -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 2 -mbd 2 -flags trell output.avi

Ok, thanks. How is it ridiculous? I am creating an application for on-the-fly conversion of videos, and i need to tweak it to become as fast as possible.

Did you mean what file format (container) and video type to convert to ? You can use many different "cocecs" to playback mpeg1 and mpeg2, and many tools to convert video types from one to another eg mpeg1 to mpeg2 ?

"I wonder what codec is the fastest to convert TO from flv" ... from flv to what ? h.264 in AVI or the same in .mp4 or what ? Suggest you state your objective in outcome terms.
