View Full Version : Encoding .FLV(and others) to .3GP (Can't use SUPER)

I have used Super for this and it generally works well (though changing the bitrate for the video didn't seen to effect the resulting video size, which makes me doubt whether that variable has any effect). Personally I thought Super was incredibly ugly and shady but since I couldn't get Samsung or AT&T to tell me th technical information for my A737, I needed something easy to set up and just try different settings.

Generally, Super worked well enough and converted episode 3 of ProAtCooking and some RvB PSA I had downloaded. However, it could not convert the PurePwnage.flv or QuickTime file I downloaded. While I'm not particularly surprised with the QuickTime file, th PurePwnage.flv was a tad confusing. I'm at work at the moment so I can't check with GSpot whether the flv had th video encoded in V6, but I remember that the PurePwnage site said it requires DivX, which I guess might have been my problem.

At first, I thought my phone just didn't support video files bigger than 40 mB but VLC couldn't play the .3gp either. So I'm assuming that the file was just invalid in it's construction.

I would prefer a single program that can just do all th conversions by itself and could run from a flashdrive, but if I have to demux the flv (and possibly .wmv and .mov in the future), transcode the (V6/DivX/WMV 9/Quicktime) video to 176 x 144 H.264 stream with (ffmpeg?/mencoder?/x264?), encode the (mp3/wma) audio to AAC with (NeroAAC commandline?/FAAC?), and mux it all into a 3GP with MP4Box with a frontend (MeGui?) I would like to what to use.

Unfortunately by mentioning downloaded content you've violated rule #6 which means this thread will be closed very soon and anybody that tries to help you will be treated just as if they were the ones askign about d/l'ed material.

It seems doom9 is rather closely watched by the mpaa so everybody's rather paranoid about anything that looks even vageuly shady.

@dstafireso everybody's rather paranoidNo, those who own and/or moderate this forum are simply being careful, not paranoid.

One only has to note what transpired regarding the Digital Video Digest to appreciate that this site is not intended for posting regarding warez, pirated media or software, or other illicit materials and/or activities...

Eh? RvB, PurePwnage, and ProAtCooking are free shows I thought...

I guess I could encode the wmv and quicktime files instead of the flv but the flv is smaller.

My bad if this violates any rules.

You can use Avidemux to convert flv files.
