I downloaded a video(FLV format) divided up for youtube using an addon to firefox. Now, I want to make it into a dvd for experience for resume(3 parts, 6 parts). With avidemux, I get this when I load the first piece:
H.264 detected: If the file is using B-frames as reference it can lead to a crash or stuttering.
Avidemux can use another mode which is safe but YOU WILL LOSE FRAME ACCURACY.
Do you want to use that mode?
Safe mode or cancel corrupts the sound. In mswin, I have a FLV to AVI conversion utility. In suse, I have ffmpeg and can’t find a gtk version. I prefer to use a GTK video conversion utility.
Is there a way to fix it through avidemux? Else, what video conversion utility should I use to fix it for avidemux?
I used this line, but the video turned out grainy, but the sound was fine.
ffmpeg -i videofile.flv videofile.mpg
I’m going to use DeVeDe to make a dvd. So, I want the original video resolution maintained. WINFF is the best front end, but there was no suse version.
and when I type ‘winff’ I indeed get winff to launch. … or more details:

Summary : A cross platform batch GUI for FFmpeg
Description :
WinFF is a GUI for the command line video converter FFMPEG.
It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert.
WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time.
You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into avi's all at once.
Distribution: home:enzokiel / openSUSE_11.4_Update
My guess is you have not learned how to use the openSUSE search engine for rpms yet, and you must learn how to do this, else you are crippling your openSUSE user experience. And thats NOT GOOD.
Take a look here: software.opensuse.org: Search Results pay attention to the ‘search options’. With openSUSE-11.4 selected, be certain to ALSO select ‘include user’s home projects’ as a search criteria.
I usually search yast software. I found winff and winff-qt. I used the quick install on winff. Thanks. I get an error, but I can’t copy and paste the error message in winff.
Does print screen work ? or is the error too big to see on one screen ? If print screen works, then post the screen image to Fast, Free Image Hosting - ImageBam and copy the BB code here for it.
>Which in this case means a bug in the wrapper that calls ffmpeg.

WinFF uses bad defaults. I’d fix winff myself, but I don’t know linux coding. So, red says 1000kb?

That has nothing to do with linux coding, it is just written in a pascal
dialect (similar to delphi).

I got this to work by going to /home/oldcpu/.winff and editingthefile ‘presets.xml’ changing kb to b in the appropriate locations. I recall it took me a long time to do the edits (doing a number of applicable global replaces).
I have not looked at this for > 6 months. I think after every " -ab ’ option I needed to change the ‘kb’ to ‘k’ BUT I had to be careful after every ’ -b ’ option NOT to change the ‘kb’ to ‘k’ but rather LEAVE the ‘kb’ as ‘kb’.
I should note that is not true in every case … and I can’t recall the exceptions. It requires a knowledge of ffmpeg far exceeding mine to come up with a common conversion algorithm.
I say there are 'exception’s as there are case where after ’ -b ’ that one needs a ‘k’ and not a ‘kb’ … For example I know of cases using the mpeg4 and libx264 codec where ’ k ’ and not ’ kb ’ is appropriate.
I don’t know the proper edits to the presets.xml to fix this in calls such as ‘XviD Widescreen Anamorphic’ which currently fails. I’m hoping someone more into this than I comes up with the correct edits.
My memory here, as I alluded, is simply BAD. Apologies.
Rather than me spend time hacking and trying to figure this out, may I propose the easy/lazy way ? … which is to go to WinFF - Free Video Converter and LOOK at the bottom of that page for the “Presets for Newer FFmpeg Revisions” (where I use the Presets for FFmpeg (libavcodec53)) …
… its a sunday morning, and I am not fully awake, and I apologize for the multitude of posts, wasting bandwidth and everyone’s time, when its simply easier to go straight to the source.
