mp4 source video files uploaded
ES gave me franb1.mp4, franb2.mp4, franb3,mp4.
I processed those through handbrake from mp4 to mp4, because the source files generated "unknown option" errors when I tried to process them with ffmpeg2theora, but the mp4's generated by handbrake worked. I've uploaded the files to the media folder in the florevid account.
Get source mp4 file on desktop
In Handbrake
- create mp4 output in a temp folder that is a stub
In terminal client
- cd to temp folder
- execute
find . -name *.mp4 -exec ffmpeg2theora --videoquality 6 {} \;
should end up with a .ogv file
Upload both to media folder in florevid account
I've also found that if I used the *.mp4 argument I would get "unknown option" errors, but if I specify the actual file name, I don't. Obviously means I have to do the files one at a time rather than as a batch.
