doesn't work!
Unsupported video codec!
Works great for me. Thanks of the tip.
Anon, try going back into your package manager and selecting the "unstripped" versions of the packages. This is what I had to do to get it to get rid of the "Unsupported codec" message.
It works, but how do you batch convert all the .flv's in a given folder?

bash#: for FILE in *.avi; do ffmpeg -i "$FILE" "$FILE.avi"; rm "$FILE"; done
Just looking at the above definitely won't work...in fact if you have avi files in there already it will delete them all and the new ones you created.
To convert all the flv files in a directory to avi run the following.
for i in *.flv ; do ffmpeg -i "${i}" "${i}.avi" ; done
come on guys, wrong scripts, for both of you
you will get file.flv converted to file.flv.avi
you have to strip .flv from the name
ls *.flv | sed 's/.flv//' | while read a; do
ffmpeg -i $a.flv -sameq $a.avi
done
-sameq should keep same quality in output as in input
I have it running now. I wonder how do I batch convert a bunch of files?
quick and dirty (and tested):
(for I in *.flv; do ffmpeg -i "$I" -sameq "${I%.flv}.avi"; done)
If there's no audio, you might need to add -an in the output section (e.g. after -sameq). The parens make it easy to stop and restart the job - you can leave them out if you put it in a shell script.
hi
