I would like to convert an old video file using the
Intel indeo codec into a video format that is supported
by nowadays video players. What software could I use
for the conversion under Debian Lenny?

Regards,
Tim

What Indeo codec version?

FFmpeg and/or MPlayer/Mencoder should do the trick.

If you can watch the video with the VLC player, you can simply convert
it with the gui wizard. Todo so, search google for "vlc convert".

Indeo, eh? Convert it quick while you still can. Over
in 64-bit land, I can't even watch Indeo (No one has
a 64-bit Linux Indeo codec).

Cheer,

There's a handy GUI called soundconverter. I think it relies on
gstreamer for its codecs, so you'll want to make sure you have the
appropriate ones installed. I'm not sure if it handles indeo or not,
but here's what I suggest you install to try it out:

soundconverter
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

You could also use mencoder, a video converter usually associated
with mplayer. There are instructions here:
http://exxamine.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/mencoder-examples-and-converting-from-intel-indeo-5/

Once you have mencoder installed, run something like:

# mencoder the_indeo_file -o output_file.avi -ovc lavc -oac pcm

If you want to use mp3 format for sound, you will get a smaller
output file size with:

# mencoder the_indeo_file -o output_file.avi -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame

But if you dont have mp3 codecs installed then mencoder will
complain it cant find them. The first command will work no matter
what, but the output file will be a bit bigger because it uses pcm
as the audio format on the output file.

hth, Tim

Ugh, that was a brainfart. No, I don't think it works for video. I
think I was thinking about gtranscode, which I used in the past but I
don't see it in the Debian repositories. It looks to be unmaintained,
so it's probably not a great option anyway.

Sorry about the noise.

Hi All,

I need a tool to convert videos I download from youtube, like flv clips, to be playable on my mobile phone.
My mobile is Samsung Player One. I have a very nice utility that does that in windows, But I am most of the time using Ubuntu 10.04.
Please do not tell me "youtube-dl" it does not work.
I have been searching the web for a month now, and all tools they suggest, they install good, but at conversion time they give you an error message.

Thanks,
ali

I download youtube videos all the time and I have no trouble with
youtube-dl.sh, but you have to have the latest version because they
move the servers around from time to time.

What format are you looking to convert into? Mencoder and ffmpeg are
good for that sort of thing.
