Export to FLV using virtualdub and frameserve

[itoo73]

Hello,
found very usefull the feature of fileserving in virtualdub. BUT is there a way to fileserver from virtual dub a vob file to an encoder such as format factory or adobe media encoder in order to export a flv file??

Depending on what type of FLV you want, you could use the external encoder feature in Virtualdub to encode x264/aac flv.

Here is a link to show how to use the external encoder feature...

You could create an mkv encoder set using x264.exe for video, neroaacenc.exe for audio and mkvmerge.exe as muxer and encode to mkv.

You could then use Super in copy mode to copy into FLV container or use ffmpeg with the copy command to copy to flv container.

i just have a vob file and want to convert it in something i can upload on a webpage. So i dont know what type of flv its required..

i read your link but cannot find anywhere the option>external encoder in VirtualDub 1.9.11. Is there a simpler way to do that like: open vob in virtualdub, start frameserver and open the fake avi file in an encoder like super or anything and encode it to flv? Because all the above seems like rocket science to me! Ok if u tell where i can find external encoders i will try it anyway...

Something last. My pc runs windows 7 64bit. Can i use frameserve with 64 and also the 64bit version of virtual dub? or should i shift to the 32bit version?Because i read somewhere that frameserve is not supported in 64 bit systems...

flash supports mp4

I don't know any program that you can frameserve to that will encode to FLV. You'll have to experiment or hope someone chimes in who knows of one.

You need version 1.10.0 or higher of Virtualdub to get the external encoder (sorry).

64 bit... http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/VirtualDub-1.10.1-test7-AMD64.zip

I would use 32 bit because it has better filter support but installing 32 bit codecs on 64 bit Windows is tricky also. I run XP so I don't know about frameserving and 64 bit.

The links to the encoders were in the thread. For FLV, you will need...

Try to keep all your encoders in the same folder (some you can't but...). I use "C:\Tools" to keep it simple. Follow the instructions in the guide on the website and you can't go wrong.

Here are the profiles to create x264/aac flv with the external encoder.

Video Encoder Profile
(Program) C:\Tools\x264.exe
(Command Arguments) --crf 26 --preset superfast --tune film --demuxer raw --input-csp i420 --input-res %(width)x%(height) --fps %(fpsnum)/%(fpsden) -o "%(tempvideofile)" -

Audio Encoder Profile
(Program) C:\Tools\neroAacEnc.exe
(Command Arguments) -q 0.35 -ignorelength -if - -of "%(tempaudiofile)"
(Output Filename) %(outputname).aac

Muxer Profile

(Command Arguments) -i "%(tempvideofile)" -i "%(tempaudiofile)" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%(outputname)"

Hi Folks,

can someone please post here detailed command arguments to convert flv video to mp4 using wirtualdub extenal encoder with the specs as below:

res: 1280x720
audio br 112-192kbs
video br: 4000 -6000
encoders264, NeroAAC, MP4box or ffmpeg

Prompt response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
