OGV to FLV Converter

***This has been updated; it now uses ffmpeg and only does one conversion (no more temp. .avi file) and includes HD options. It currently supports conversion of ogg, ogv, flv, asf, mp4, avi and mkv files. You can now also store your video settings in the script easily for quick conversion at your settings.***

I put this together fairly quickly to make it easier to convert videos from gtk-recordmydesktop's ogg/ogv files into flv for web uploads on the Gnome desktop for Linux.

It is not perfect and needs some added error trapping, but it works as long as you have mencoder installed.

Let me know how it worked out for you and what you think. Thanks!

You can download the script at gnome-look.org.

okay am gonna
demonstrate a quick cup demonstration
up for the little script that are put
together
which helps me when using GTK+ record my
desktop actually that's what I'm using
right now to record this
um I had a little issue of converting
the file
from Oggy Oggy
to a flash which I prefer
for can obviously a pleasant website um
22 of 22 profiles you created under
to different versions of GTK record my
desktop hum
and I'm gonna demonstrate a what I did
which was to space to put a very simple
model a script
together and can go and show that
I am in this isn't over yet convert
GG to FLV now had an issue basically
what I just as
just converted over and uses MinnKota
which you can do from the command line
but
I don't wanna keep referencing and
trying to remember
the whole come online site rather have
something I can just use quickly
to do and so this this will do it for me
I am
had a little issue though the reason I
have two different file formats
different version years because I had an
issue with
on initially com
I was able to Egypt this version the 0.3
the 606 version of GO
record modest up to directly
translate from 0 to re encode from
GG to FLV no problems but then with the
newer version
of record Monday stop the 0.3 07
whatever it is
it wouldn't do it anymore so in order to
work around that I actually have to do
conversion to
a portable temporary format which is APR
and Dan
reform headed over to from a beatiful
the
works just fine I am it a little
cumbersome cuts
not the best way to do things but it
works
I'm not complaining I am if there's a
better way to do it I'd love to have
some feedback on that
up it's using town because I would like
it to be as quick as possible
%uh you sorry in coding videos is kinda
slow to begin with
but this makes it you have to do it
twice so
to go ahead and give a quick
demonstration yah will go with the
original
one that I did on it and there we go
now one of the features dead have put in
your zip
if you do not have main code on your
system it will
I'm alert you and then if you continue
with it it alarm
go ahead and install that for you if you
have any problems though
hum you know you can do it manually now
it's completed with the AVI format it's
now converting this over to flash
now um again and try to keep these files
a small as possible
it defaults to a 640 by 480
I resolution am
I did that because anything below that
is kinda blurry
it still little blurry the resulting
videos too little blurry
but it's not bad it's actually pretty
clear genetic comparison to
from I anything below that it seems
I'm I didn't make it any bigger though
because you know that your files size is
going to be really big okay so we
successfully converted the
I'm follow the to flash and this is it
over yeah
catch something to him play this one
sheesh
soon as we loved
you know it's true loaded in change I
just installed Banshee
sheesh
cap and this was me doing a
quick install over a installing middle
on a under Wine
nothing major okay so
that was the 0.3 06 version gonna go
ahead and do the
2.30 7 again just a quick
test video sheesh
to a go-ahead Educati this the output
now one of the unfortunate things as
clicking on cancel
dozen work on the sections to be a bug
and but if you click on the
close window I kinda gap it seems to
stop us from doing its job
Tom so you know if you really want to
stop it you know that this way to do it
the other way of course just let it
finish in you know start again
and by tyson apparently in the new
version of Ubuntu
on action on Ubuntu right now but after
in the new version of Ubuntu that seems
to be
resolved okay so the we've
successfully converted and by the way
the observational speaking of is the
IBEX vision I
10 so let's see if this one plays
sheesh sheesh
kept place is fine AF so
a that's my script that I put together I
did the
look at another script for inspiration
interesting kinda name now
the camp to QQ
okay back Ray gas missus minsky
yes September 2005 a look at our script
actually still have on your
on which was a Video Converter
unfortunately though I would have just
use video converter except that it
doesn't
except OG format so I had to do
something else
and gonna release this and hopefully
will be of use to anybody else at the
using energy to chemical modest of
or warning to transit area code a.m.
I G 00 GV false to flash
and the
