Convert OGV to AVI or Other Formats – Video Converter Guide

conversionrecordmydesktopvideo

I've been using recordMyDesktop to record stuff. A little slow to compile but it records fine. However, when I try to convert from ogv to avi (I've used Devede and an mencoder script) the audio and video go out of sync.

Here's the script for reference:

#!/bin/bash
# ogv to avi
# Call this with multiple arguments
# for example : ls *.{ogv,OGV} | xargs ogv2avi
N=$#;
echo "Converting $N files !"
for ((i=0; i<=(N-1); i++))
do
echo "converting" $1
filename=${1%.*}
#mencoder "$1" -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts pass=1 -o $filename.avi
mencoder "$1" -o $filename.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=4000
shift 1
done

Are there good reliable video converters out there? 🙂

winff Install winff

Is a GUI for the command line video converter, FFMPEG. It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into avi's all at once.
