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

 

Where are you getting the Flash from? Can you open it in QuickTime
player?

If you can, and you have QTPro you could save it out as some other codec

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

It just feels like it's my night in the barrel of video formats. 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?
