Converting FLV Flash Video to AVI - how to?

[SenorKaffee]

I´m looking for a way to convert an FLV Flash Video ripped from an SWF files to AVI.

Since the RIVA FLV Encoder uses FFMPEG I thought I could use it for the conversion but I just get this output.

ffmpeg -i "d:\streamvideo1.flv" -vcodec hyuv "d:\streamvideo.avi"

ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4751, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
configuration: --enable-memalign-hack --enable-mp3lame --enable-mingw32 --ext
ra-cflags=-I/local/include --extra-ldflags=-L/local/lib --enable-amr_nb
built on Mar 29 2005 07:26:02, gcc: 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)
[flv @ 0040F954]Unsupported video codec (4)
d:\streamvideo1.flv: could not find codec parameters

Do you know another way to convert?

you might need to add -f xxx telling ffmpeg what video format the flv is (if ffmpeg really includes the needed decoder)

Hm - looks like it can´t be done automagically.

I captured the video track in the decompilers preview window with HyperCam, the audio was not in the FLV file. After decompiling the audio track from the SWF I found out why - it´s 10 seconds longer than the video, because a part of the presentation is done with other Flash functions.

So I need AFX to reconstruct it anyways. :)

It´s strange nonetheless since FLV seems to be supported by FFMPEG.



File formats:
DE flv flv format

Codecs:
DEVSD flv



On this page http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ there is a tool that can fix missing meta data in the FLV file. I tried that but it didn´t change a thing. Looks like that is not the problem.
