Converting video (AVI, MOV, MPG, MP4) to FLV using FFmpeg

Firstly you need to download FFmpeg from the FFmpeg website

To convert your file use the following command.

ffmpeg -i “C:videosvideoname.mov” -ar 44100 -ab 96 -f flv “C:videosvideoname.flv”

• ffmpeg – runs the program
• -i “filename.ext” – input file
• -ar 44100 – audio frequency
• -ab 96 – audio bitrate
• -f flv – force format followed by format
• “newfilename.ext” – output file

I used these settings to convert some 500MB+ Apple Quicktime (MOV)
files down to ~20MB FLV which were perfect for uploading to YouTube.
