Good command line tool WMV -> FLV (convert) - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey there GFY,

I'm looking for a good linux-based command line tool that converts wmv -> flv (video). I've tried ffmpeg, but I'm not really sure how the eff this thing works, any work examples would be helpful as well.

Any suggestions?

TIA

C'mon dude, didn't I teach you anything hehe - ffmpeg isn't that hard to use commandline

To answer your question though, I'm not really aware of any other stable/quality ones that work via command line.

My usual is:

ffmpeg -i input.wmv -s 320x240 -ar 44100 -r 12 -b 400000 target.flv

Where 320x240 are the dimensions, adjust at will... 12 is the framerate, depending on the site/application I'll go higher like 16-20... And 400000 is the bitrate (400 kbps). 44100 is the audio sampling frequency, and I don't add it for any reason other than I read on some blog that I should.
