I need to convert 2 movies from the .MKS format to a .MP4 or .AVI file. How would I do that? I would prefer doing this in a GUI as I am not comfortable with the Command Line Interface.

I need a good video converter application that can convert from/to many video formats. On Windows I found  to be good. I would like its equivalent or something better on Ubuntu.

Got a bunch of .mp4 videos (info shows H.264 Video + AAC Audio) that are chapters of a larger video.  I'd like to merge them, but not sure which is the best way.  I don't have Quicktime Pro, but I'll get it if that's the best way to do this.  Edit: Just to clariify this is Mac OSX 10.6 I'm on.

When I try to open a movie I just created with the command:  ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' -s 640x480 movie.mp4   I get an error from QuickTime:  The document “movie.mp4” could not be opened. The file may be damaged or may not be a movie file that is compatible with QuickTime Player.   I used the same command on a set of images generated from an iSight time lapse, but in this case the above images are from a digital camera.  The resolution is a lot higher, but I am scaling it to 640x480 and I don't see anything in the output that suggests a problem:  Input #0, image2, from '*.JPG':   Duration: 00:00:04.76, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A     Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj422p(pc), 4928x3264, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc   vs. the working movie:  Input #0, image2, from '*.JPG':   Duration: 00:01:23.72, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A     Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p(pc), 640x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc   And for the output:  Output #0, mp4, to 'movie.mp4':   Metadata:     encoder         : Lavf55.19.104     Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (libx264) ([33][0][0][0] / 0x0021), yuvj422p, 640x480, q=-1--1, 12800 tbn, 25 tbc Stream mapping:   Stream #0:0 -&gt; #0:0 (mjpeg -&gt; libx264)   vs. for the working one:  Output #0, mp4, to 'movie.mp4':   Metadata:     encoder         : Lavf55.19.104     Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (libx264) ([33][0][0][0] / 0x0021), yuvj420p, 640x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], q=-1--1, 12800 tbn, 25 tbc Stream mapping:   Stream #0:0 -&gt; #0:0 (mjpeg -&gt; libx264)   Aside from the working movie being longer and a lower source resolution, the only difference I can see is that there is an extra "[SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3]" mentioned in the video stream, but I have no idea what this is, or how to try to force it in the non-working movie.  Update: I just downloaded VLC and it plays the movie fine.  So I know ffmpeg isn't at fault here.

I want to make an application, say , the default player for all the file types it supports, without going through all of them individually.  I might not even know what all the supported formats are (as VLC can read 100s of formats) and still want to set it as the default player for all of them.  I was able to do this using the terminal, with the procedure posted below.  Is there an easier way to do it that doesn't require the user to be a developer?

I need to fit videos to 640x360 (the maximum my phone's player can handle), while also preserving aspect ratio, but I also want the video to be unchanged if it is smaller than 640x360 (no point in up-scaling it after all).  Is there a way to get this behavior using ffmpeg's command line?

I am quite a non-technical guy when it comes to such stuff and hence looking for "easy" solutions.   On Windows, I had used Red Kawa Videora to convert the various audio and video formats to iPod-playable formats. I think it also has a version which works on Mac.   I would like to know if there is other (possibly better and as much or more user-friendly) software which does the above job of converting various audio and video formats into what Apple products can play. (I guess what works on iPod also works on iPad.)

How to install all possible media codecs from console?  Is there a way to load and save them for some cases without Internet connection?  Thanks in Advance!

I am a huge fan of . It is the epitome of simple. Select a video file (or DVD), select a preset, select an output path, click Start. A certain amount of time later relative to the size/quality of the content, and you have yourself a pretty much perfect video file suitable for the medium of your choice.  I've been looking for similar qualities in an Audio Converter, and more preferably, an Audio Extractor (from a given video file). I would love to be able to drag a video file into an application, specify that I want the Audio File in AAC at a given bitrate, click Start, and let the app do the rest.  I am not averse to using Handbrake to suffice the conversion aspect of this, so long as the audio extraction after the fact is a simple process. The point is to take as few steps as possible.  Any tips? Apps? Ideas?

I have a file  Other - Analogue Clock-JEJqy1Wlovw.mp4  which is just a download from     It's 2 minutes 13 seconds long.  I had some issues cutting it to the second.  I was able to use this command   ffmpeg -ss 0 -i infile.mp4 -c copy -t 60 output.mp4  to make a file that was 60 seconds, so no problem so far.  That's the file exactly 1 minute, no issue there so far.

If I cut with -ss 0 -t 1,   it produces a file that is 1s 22ms.  So that's not too bad that's fairly close to one second. 1.022 seconds is quite good for an attempt to cut one second.  If I cut with -ss 0 -t 2, it produces a file that is 3s 19ms   That is terrible! it's meant to be one second!  If I cut with -ss 0 -t 30 then it is fine it does 30s 1ms.  Or this video for example, also an mp4   C:\blah&gt;ffmpeg -ss 189 -i vid.mp4 -c copy -t 6 someoutput.mp4  C:\blah&gt;mediainfo someoutput.mp4   produces a duration of 8s 383ms  That is so wrong though 'cos it should be 6 seconds! So that is two seconds too long!  C:\blah&gt;ffmpeg -ss 191 -i vid.mp4 -c copy -t 6 someoutput2.mp4  C:\blah&gt;mediainfo output2.mp4   shows that ffmpeg produced a duration of 10s 403ms  which is crazily wrong 'cos the ffmpeg command specified 6 seconds!  So that's not just one second out, that is 4 seconds out!  That's almost 50% longer than it should be!

I am in the video sequence editor, cut out fragments, combined the remaining into one whole new clip and do not know how to procede from here on in order to obtain a video file (h264, mpeg4).   I tried to click the animation button and all I got was a some pictures I already had cut out.

I installed 12.04 and installed all plug-ins related to video drive.   I installed VLC player and tried to start a .wmv file but I get this error:     No suitable decoder module:   VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for    you to fix this.   I followed links of previous .wmv related questions and also searched on Google but did not find a solution to the problem.  Please help me or suggest me any other player.

So, I'm using a script I've made to convert videos to the webm format. A certain program calls the script, sending %f which is the full, absolute file name of the video, like this:  converter.sh %f   where %f has two possible extensions, .avi or .mpg.  # /bin/bash ffmpeg -i $1 `dirname $1``basename $1 avi`webm &amp;&amp; rm $1   It currently works perfectly when $1 contains a .avi file, because basename removes the .avi extension. When $1 ends with .mpg instead, the result is .mpgwebm.  How can I modify that script to be able to receive those two possible different formats?    Resuming: If $1 is /somedir/video.avi, the script should do:  ffmpeg -i /somedir/video.avi /somedir/video.webm   And if $1 is /somedir/video.mpg, the script should do:  ffmpeg -i /somedir/video.mpg /somedir/video.webm   I know this might be fool for some people, but I'm kind of new with the bash.

So I have a script that adds 2 films together using the audio from the $1.audio file. What I would like to do is rename any file in the directory with:  *.mp4    To:  *.audio    Keeping original file name.

I am having a problem while playing .mkv files. Every time I play a .mkv file, the audio can be heard but video cannot be seen. The only way to see the video if I actually right click on it or put a window in front of it and it displays one part of the video but not all.    The link of the picture above basically describes what I am saying. While I was trying to take the screenshot, the window for the screenshot disappeared and displayed part of the video. I hope someone could help me on this. Thank you!   EDIT: I was running Unity 2D when I have the problem but when I run Unity 3D, it works. So I need to make this work on 2D. Please help.
