Thanks a lot! I use the command you offer. There are many issues to be solved. I use mplayer to play it. I have not installed ffmpeg. Mplayer can't forward seek when playing it. vlc play only video, not sound.
Besides, mencoder can encode .flv. See its usage page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-selecting-codec.html At the end of the web page above, it has an example how to convert a avi file to a .flv flash file. --- On Fri, 10/24/08, Manon Metten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Manon Metten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: how to convert several .flv files to a real media file? > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Date: Friday, October 24, 2008, 9:38 PM > Hi Serena, > > On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 3:05 AM, Serena Cantor > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have etch and installed mplayer and mencoder from > debian-multimedia.
