Tip of the Day: Convert OGV to FLV Using ffmpeg

    In today's tip of the day I'll show how to easily convert an OGV (Theora video) file to FLV (Flash video), for uploading to YouTube or other websites. You will need the ffmpeg audio and video encoder.
    To convert an OGV file created by recordMyDesktop for example, all you have to do is issue a command like this:

    ffmpeg -i input_file.ogv output_file.flv

    You can shrink the size of the output file using something like this:

    ffmpeg -i input_file.ogv -s 640x512 output_file.flv

    This also reduces the size of the Flash video file.

    To select a certain audio codec you can use something which goes like this:

    ffmpeg -i input_file.ogv -acodec libmp3lame output_file.flv
