By rzelazko  //  Linux  //  1 Comment

This post describes how to convert multimedia files in Debian. You will find there description of installation process of necessary software (via sources.list file). We will sign added repository. To convert software we will use mencoder, ffmpeg and ffmpeg2theora tools.

To convert *.ogv to *.avi file you can use (ogv2avi):

mencoder -idx input.ogv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output.avi

Offcourse there must be installed mencoder. To install it:

echo "deb http://debian-multimedia.org/ sid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
rm debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
aptitude update
aptitude install mencoder w32codecs

Some other converts (ffmpeg required):
*.flv to *.ogv (flv2ogv):

ffmpeg -i input.flv -acodec vorbis -ac 2 -vcodec libtheora -f ogg output.ogv

*.ogv to *.flv (ogv2flv):

ffmpeg -i in.ogg -b 384000 -s 640x480 -pass 1 -passlogfile log-file out.flv

*.ogv to *.mpg (ogv2mpg):

mencoder -idx input.ogv -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video -of mpeg -o output.mpg
