Is there anything in OpenSUSE’s repositories to convert avi to mpg video? What does everyone here use?

I use tovid to create DVD compatible mpeg files. I do not use its GUI. I do it from command line. PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket tovid

To convert the file oldcpu.avi to a PAL compatible mpeg I might type:

tovid -dvd -pal -normalize -quality 9 -in oldcpu.avi -out oldcpu

for NTSC:

tovid -dvd -ntsc -normalize -quality 9 -in oldcpu.avi -out oldcpu

one can also use avidemux: PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket avidemux

I typically only use avidemux with mpeg files if tovid has lost video/audio-sync, in which case I use avidemux to resync the audio with the video.

Thanks! i ended up using ffmpeg. It took some time figuring out its quirks but it worked.

#5

Glad to read it worked.

Tovid, dependant on its setting, will call either ffmpeg or mencoder.

#6

i have installed tovid 0.33. please inform how to convert .flv files to .mp4?

You reopened a very old thread. If you want your question to have members’ attention, better start a new thread, title somthing like “how to convert …using tovid”
