avi,mpg,wmv-> flv converter for linux - who know?
 

need this thing for work server-side via ssh.

going to make customised movie galleries for our affiliates and for personal usage with increased ads ctr (done this in past with picture galleries - work just great) also affiliates will be can get their own links etc added into templates and other options on personal basis.

does anyone know what software i need for do this at linux?

I believe ffmpeg can do that

ffmpeg, or optimally, mplayer.

for i in *.mpg; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "`echo $i |sed 's/.mpg$/.flv/'`" ;done

Does it work for any "flavor" or Linux, or just a particular one?

ffmpeg is open source, works on many variations of linux and aix/bsd/solaris etc/etc

yes - i already figured from other board what ffmpeg can do this. also i know this software good enough. but thanks for replies anyway ;)

I don't know about linux... but I highly recommend xilisoft converter - it can convert any type of file and even really obscure ones

trust me on this one dudes... check out their demo

Dudes?

Anyhow - you're going to probably want to tweak some of the features, otherwise your flvs will come out looking like shit.
