on all my files that weren't WMV and convert my files to MP4 video at 320x240 and a decent bit rate. I wanted to run this ffmpeg command line.įfmpeg -i 'oldname.*' -f mp4 -r 25 -s 320×240 -b 768 -ar 44000 -ab 112 'newname.mp4' įFmpeg doesn't like WMV files very much, and they are compressed pretty well already. Notable is that most FFmpeg developers are part of either the MPlayer, xine or VideoLAN project as well. The project was started by Gerard Lantau, an alterego of Fabrice Bellard, and is now maintained by Michael Niedermayer. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can be compiled under most operating systems, including Windows. It includes libavcodec, a leading audio/video codec library. You can get a binary copy of FFMPEG (as the project team releases source but not binaries) from this friendly fellow here.įFmpeg is a collection of free software that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video. Also, the version of FFMPEG that comes with PSPVideo9 is really old.

I'd like to have them available if I wanted to watch them on my PlayStation Portable, but using PSPVideo9 is tedious for more than a few files. I don't want to toss them, but they are fat and wasting space. I've got a bunch of old TV shows that are in MPEG2 format that were recorded with BeyondTV from SnapStream. This post will likely win the award this month for "least useful and most obscure use of two totally unrelated tools to do a task that few folks ever would need to do and fewer would be interested in reading about" but I wanted to save it for myself for reference.
