Avi to Ogv

  • Print

To convert eg an avi file to ogv, which i use, as it takes half the space on the default settings (quality 6)

 

you need to have ffmpeg2theora installed first

 su -c 'yum -y install ffmpeg2theora'

 

then the command you use to covert to ogv is

 ffmpeg2theora film.avi

 now you will have  the original file and another called the same with .ogv as the extension.

 

If you have lots of video files in a directory and want to convert then all then cd to the directory containing the videos you want to convert and..

 for i in *; do ffmpeg2theora "$i"; done

 

for more options for ffmpeg2theora just type ffmpeg2theora in a terminal

there is also a gui for converting just one file att a time as well

 su -c 'yum -y install oggconvert'
