FLV conversion

Does anyone know a program I can use to turn a FLV into a AVI? I want to try to clean up a poorly encoded, original animation video. I've tried importing it into premiere, but I keep getting the error that the file isn't supported. Same with vdubmod.

I also want to add optional subtitles to it all in one file. Would I use a mp4, mkv, or some other container for that?

It's possible to get a FLV video running through DirectShow and thus through AVS. I wish I could recall how I got that going, but I did.

Has something to do with an FLV1 FOURCC in FFDshow, I think.

eo-video worked great, now to figure out how to put subtitles in.

Rarewares also has a DirectShow decoder for it (well, specifically the VP6 streams if I recall, but it works for FLV). In either case:

(replace XX with the actual framerate, obviously)

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("nameofvideo.flv", fps=XX, convertfps=true)

And voila. A more drawn out way would be to create a graph in Graphedit and then use DirectShowSource to open the graph, but depending on the circumstances you might still have to specify the fps and convert values, which pretty much nullifies the reason for using Graphedit to stabilize the source in the first place.

If you already have the subtitles done and timed, then you can add another line to the script to load them in too. Providing you have VSFilter then all it takes is:

Code: Select all

TextSub("nameofsubtitlefile.[sub, ssa, or srt]")

There's some fancier stuff it allows you to do IIRC, but I don't remember them at the moment.
