FLV conversion

BZB · 10-20-2008, 11:33 PM

Hi there,

I've recently bought a Phillips DivX player and I need to convert some .FLV files I've got sitting about; problem is that I can't seem to find the optimal conversion format so that I'm able to burn lots of the files to a single DVD rather than creating massive files and having them burnt to several DVDs.

The best conversion size I've managed is 45.2 MB MPG from a 14.4 MB FLV
and that is just a little on the large size; 2:1 ratio or smaller would be ideal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is the video a cartoon/anime or live action. Using a different quantizing matrix and multi-pass encoding may help increase quality and allow you to lower the bit-rate ultimately the file size. Also what encoder are you using?

VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists has various tutorials on getting good results (good quality and small file size).

It's a mixture of both anime / live action.

At the moment I'm using QMC (Quick Media Converter) which allows me to convert to quite a few formats (PS3, WII, XBOX, DVD, VCD etc etc)

->
I've just recently obtained a FLV to AVI plugin for VirtualDub which seems to be working great; though I'm not entirely sure if it'll play on my DivX player..

Quote:

my 14.4 MB FLV managed to save as a 14.9 MB AVI with sound sync, and quality, remaining exactly the same.

I take this back; upon loading both AVI & FLV and comparing them back to back the converted AVI file seems to have lost it's color depth.. and looks a few shades lighter. It's not super bright or anything but may prove problematic for some files.

I also had to download some ffdshow decoders in order to get VirtualDub to load the file.

The website is:

Moitah.net // FLV input plugin

I'll test this on a few more files, see if they play back on the DivX player, and post my results later on today.

I forgot to encode them after "ripping" them using VDUB so I just used the DivX 6.8 codec; fast processed and they work just fine.
