Can anyone recommend a video to FLV converter?
 

Need one preferably that does bulk conversions so I can put the videos into one folder and the program will convert everything.

Any ideas?

Flash Video encoder is the best they say.

sorensen squeeze

I tried a couple, but I really like the Sothink video encoder

only one mentioned that i could get to accually deliever the final flv movie in the correct bitrate.. all the others do their best they always have a huge overhead for some reason , so a 500kbps ends up being 658 etc..

and no, it wasnt because the sounds was set wrong etc.. so if you want it done fast go with one of the programs mentioned. if you want it done right go with squeeze.

a wordpress plugin i was reading today suggested this freeware version:

I have one on my other puuter. Its free fast and easy as hell.
but dont remember the name.
Sorry. If you dont find something, let me know and I will boot that puter up and get the name. I think its Riva or something like that,.

VideoCharge is my choice :thumbsup Really easy all-in-one video editor. It includes batch video -> FLV converter

adobe, its free and works

:thumbsup

That was the very first one I tried and it returned a ton of errors when I was going from wmv to FLV. :2 cents:

Horses mouth
 

I'd stick with "flash video encoder" (comes with flash 8.) It's flawless imo.

What Adobe utility is free and works to convert to Flash video? I do not think that the free Adobe Media Encoder can encode from pre-existing video files, only from live sources as they are captured.

I use Sorenson Squeeze sometimes, and it makes beautiful Flash video relatively quickly, but it can't add a watermark in the process unfortunately.

Otherwise I normally use Cleaner XL to batch encode video and add my watermarks, but it is very slow to encode Flash video.

i use adobe all the time, i download videos from members areas and cut them and convert the flv

it works on many formats, prexisting or not

poliewog you scag, tell us what it is good, you are the video expert

n'est pas mon amie?

Fris, which specific Adobe application are you referring to that is free?

The only 2 professional choices IMHO are sorenson squeeze and On2 Flix Pro... They each have their advantages, but sorenson is known to have some strange audio related issues, which is a shame because it has a much better batch setup, where you can do multiple encoding schemes on multiple files. Flix lets you batch, but with only one encoding scheme per batch.
If you could put the squeeze user interface over the flix engine, you'd have a winner.

Canopus Procoder

dready what version of pro coder do you have? my V2 doesn't have a flash option, but it's MPEG and WMV encoders are great!
