I use ffmpeg: ffmpeg -I filename.ext -f flv -s qvga -qscale 5 filename.flv I'm more interested in quality than size. (and fortunate my wife is, too %^O ) We upload them to Amazon S3, and host them from there... Chenge the qscale setting for quality/size 1 is best quality, 30 is lowest. HTH, Dennis

Hi CentOS users
I am running a forum with small video clips (from YouTube and others). I convert those Macromedia Flash videos with:
$ mencoder example.flv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000:autoaspect -vf pp=lb -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard -o example.avi
I use mencoder RPM from Dag Wieers
- Its very generic command line to convert videos. What
would you improve? The size is much bigger than the original FLV :(
- Is there a real open source format what I should prefer?
Can you say something about its quality?
- Whats the most painless format for exchanging videos with
Win, Mac and Linux users?
cheers Simon
