Convert to HD FLV
 

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a free software that can convert MOV or WMV videos to HD FLV. I tried Any Video Converter and SUPER but the converted videos' quality is poor. So does anybody know a software that really supports HD FLV? Thanks.

It's a bit clunky, but you can upload to YouTube as HD, then rip it back down with one of the free flv ripping tools (sorry I can't remember the name of the one I use, I'm not on my main computer right now). YouTube does a good job on the conversion (provided your source is good quality).

Maybe I try that. However isn't there any simpler way? A software that can do the job?

Just to ask, why would you want to convert to HD .flv when you could use Handbrake or a similar program to convert to a HD .mp4 or .m4v encoded in H.264, which Flash now supports?

Well, I didn't know that :D Thank you.

Sok sikert,

I am using a CMS called Joomla on my site with the Seyret component. Unfortunately it doesn't support MP4, it only supports FLV. However I don't want to upload HD videos no more, I only want to upload 960x540 videos. So which free software do you recommend for converting MOV or WMV to FLV in this size, and also what is the optimal bitrate? Thank you in advance.

MediaCoder can generate FLV files (any resolution you want), using just about any source format, and it's freeware. MediaCoder can be a bit tricky to work with (to put it mildly), but you can get excellent quality results. The ideal bitrate, for any particular image dimensions, will be dependent on the particular content of the video(s) you are encoding (and the video framerate).

Thank you Robert :) I'll try that out.
