Code: Select all

trythil@lothlann media $ transcode -i example.mov -o example.avi -z -k -w 3000,750,100 -x mov,mp3 -y divx5,toolame

If I can do it, so can you.

-z: flip video frame upside down
-k: swap red/blue in video frame
-w: bitrate, keyframes, crispness encoder parameters
-x: video/audio input type (or autodetect)
-y: video/audio output type

Any sort of transcoder utility can do this kind of conversion. VirtualDub would be a good bet, assuming that you have a DirectShow filter for Quicktime files (if they even exist, I don't know.)

Of course, this assumes that the codec used in the Quicktime file you're using is readable by your filter. If the compressor is something like Sorenson Vision, you're SOL, unless you're willing to output the Quicktime file through video out, capture that, and convert.

See see..

I would think loonix users would go like this

-f is for flip

-b is for bitrate...

There's the problem with loonix right there... Too many freakin options!!!

Your damn OS is to powerly userly!

3 ways to easily do that

1. www.doom9.org has a MOV2AVI.exe tutility... works sometimes
2. buy quicktime pro... it allows you to save a MOV as an AVI
3. use adobe premire to export the file

Actually, -f controls output video framerate, and -b controls the audio encoder bitrate.

We won't go into what -F and -B do.

Quu - I would see, if premier would import the stupid video. I'm not that basic. :-p

I'll check the doom9 site for that mov2avi file though. I just want the damn sound. BUY quicktime? ick.

How big is the file and can you get it online?
