[Xerte] Re: Avi resize then > .flv

[Adam Read]

You could also try using FormatFactory (free ffmpeg converter) for the transcoding. Lots of configurable options.

Don't try to do a conversion from 480 -> 250 and expect good results. You could try 240x180... though, nice factor of 2.

And depending on how many AVI's we're talking about I could help you out with Adobe Media Encoder, but I think you should be able to get good results with nice integer scaling factor.

I have a pile of .avi's that were originally produced at 480x360 (CD delivery).
I want to bring them into Xerte as .flv's at 250x187.5 (same aspect)

I am doing a straight .avi>flv conversion using MyVideoConverter, but am not happy with the file size or quality.

I know Julian, ffmpeg.

And I need to resize the originals anyway.

So I figured the first place to start would be to re-output the originals to the size I am actually  using.
Any services that would do this, or do I have to open (after purchasing) Premiere for the first time in 10 years?
