Need help converting video

[penguin12 0]

Hello

 

I'm using Mandriva 2009 Spring with KDE 4.

 

I've just downloaded Firefox 3.5 from the Mozilla website.

 

I want to test the new html 5 audio and video tags.

 

I wan to test the video tags.

 

To do this I need a video with video encoded in Ogg Theora and audio encoded in Ogg Vorbis.

 

Since I don't have such a video, I decided to convert a .mov video to Ogg Theora.

 

I I decided to try converting the video with ffmpeg.

 

 

 

From the terminal I typed:

 

cd name of directory which contains my videos

ffmpeg -i video.mov video.ogg

 

After ffmpeg converted the video, I checked the converted video.

 

The video format was theora but the audio format was flac.

 

 

I want to know how to convert a video so that the converted video's video format is Ogg Theora and the audio format is Ogg Vorbis.

 

Please tell me how to do this.

You could try use Handbrake to do that, a readily installable Mandriva package is available on my website:

Handbrake does ogg video and vorbis audio (among other formats).

ffmpeg -i video.mov video.ogg

 

After ffmpeg converted the video, I checked the converted video.

 

The video format was theora but the audio format was flac.

You can force the audio codec to vorbis with

ffmpeg -i video.mov -acodec vorbis -aq 60 video.ogg

the -aq option is to set the audio quality of a VBR codec, with 0 being the lowest. So you may have to adjust that option to your needs.
