Miguel Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Has anyone on here got any experience with this? I'm trying to convert a 58 minute .flv video to .Mp4 using iSkysoft iMedia converter, but it keeps chopping the end of the video down to 49 minutes. Converting to any other format nets the same result bar .avi being all sped up. I've tried MPEG Steamclip to do the conversion too, but that ends in audio way out of sync. Any ideas or pointers on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Haven't got experience with said software but I believe that vlc will do te job quite easily. 1.03 for osx download the 32 bit version as for some reason they've got a 64-bit version up which doesn't actually run in 64-bit I take it the source file plays fine for those last 2 minutes? Only got it in that sorce format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 The source .flv plays fine all the way through, it's just the last 9 minutes that seem to go missing when converting. I'll give VLC a spin and see how I get on. I wish I did have it in a different source format, it shouldn't be this difficult to convert.

Miguel Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 VLC seems to be having a hard time of it. It doesn't seem to handle file to file converting very well, unless I'm doing something wrong? When trying to transcode from .flv it only seems handles the audio data and ignore everything else, no matter what settings you choose. Any ideas?

caseys Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hmmm I've not had issues with VLC converting flv files and ogg files (man ogg files are a PITA). You could try Perian - http://www.perian.org/ and then use MPEG Streamclip to convert them. Perian would be used as the playing in program. or iSquint if you can find it, it's discontinued iirc Apart from that I'd have to try with the flv video myself to help you further dude. Which versions of OSX and quicktime are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I use iSquint and VisualHub. I have copies of the software as well if you need them (they stopped making it and allow distribution). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in those myself. Can you PM me how I can grab it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks for the help guys. Casey, I have Perian installed and have tried MPEG SteamClip, it works but puts the audio way out of sync. For example: I end up with a video file of 53m minutes and an audio file of 59m, weird. Interestingly, is seems the actual length of the video is 53:53 and not the 58:39 the time code in Quicktime or VLC says it is. I have managed to extract the audio and video separately into mp4 and m4a respectively using Steamclip, and both of them have the correct play length of 53:53. I also made an AAC version of the audio just to be safe. Now I just have to stich them together in iMovie if I can suss out why the synch of the audio seems to wander. I'm using OSX 10.6.2 and Quicktime X, although I do have 7 to hand. Martini, is iSquint and VisualHub the same thing? I have a copy of iSquint v1.5, but that just throws up a "VIDEO_TS folders can't be directly converted. Sorry." error. I wouldn't mind giving VisualHub a whirl though, if you don't mind zapping me a copy Attached some info on the original file: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
