Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FFmpeg for the rest of us?

FWIW, .m4v can be changed to .mp4 (as with .f4v) by just just changing the extension as well.

Trying to convert a flash video using mpeg streamclip I get an error saying I need ffmpeg in something like usr/local/bin or something like that. Googling FFmpeg has a host of various approaches to ffmpeg command line of ffmpegx gui etc.... Is this really as difficult as it seems to be? Sometimes I get a prompt for perian which seems to apply to these scenarios but I'm not interested in adding the whacky levels potentials I've heard about with perian codec installed. I'm on a mac book pro os 10.6.6 I thought I had converted flash files before but I might have been going the other way converting a QT to a flash or some such thing. What is a good way to convert a flash video to something QT compatible? Also what is the simplist way to install FFmpeg functionality and are there any downsides with installing it? Man once again I long for the days of 3/4 or 1 inch?
