Does anyone know a good free .mov to .flv converter for an Intel Mac (preferred) or a Windows box?

[YankeeDeuce]

Try out SUPER - http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html

I haven't done .mov -> .flv, but I think it can do it. Converts pretty much everything. I use it to convert movies so I can play them on my phone.

I just use Flash 8 to do that (it has an integrated convertor).

I use FFMPEG for OS X. It is fast and free!

Doesn't look like it does FLV though...

It doesn't say it does on its features list, but check out the link below.

we're using ffmpeg serverside...so we can convert a whole load of different video formats into FLV serverside. It can even make framegrabs automatically for thumbs. Really recommended.

olaf,

I am looking to run FFMPEG serverside as well. Do you know any good links to show how to set this up and run it? Tutorials, etc.?

Thanks,
Chuck

did you, ahem, read the fine manual?

[ChuckTrukk]

Yes I have. Sometimes a good real-use example / tutorial is easier and helps out a lot.

So if anyone knows of a good tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated.

On the Mac side of the house (and Windows too), a great utility that's free: http://www.squared5.com/

Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works great and the price is tough to beat.
