I have a bunch of photography tutorials in the Flash video.flv format which I want to watch on my iPad. As you may be aware, everything with the name Flash in it doesn’t play too well on Apple’s iOS devices. Is able to play the.flv format but Apple doesn’t allow 3rd party software devs to use the built-in H.264 hardware acceleration for video playback. As as result,.flv videos usually don’t play very well on iOS devices.

Besides, I prefer to manage my video collection in iTunes instead of dragging every clip onto an app icon. A software called is a good starting point to convert all kinds of video files to something that plays on iOS devices like the iPad. The software needs to be able to handle the Flash video format. Perian itself uses to play Flash videos and plugs in nicely into Mac OS X so you can play Flash videos with Quicktime Player as well. The.flv Flash video format is a container for different video and audio formats. A while back, was the standard video codec for Flash video.
With hardware video accelerators becoming more popular in mobile devices, many.flv videos are encoded with today. For some reason, quite a few of my Flash videos don’t play very well with Perian. There’s stutter, there are those typical compression artifacts and video/audio is off-sync at times.
It may very well be that there’s something odd with my Flash videos but with VLC for Mac and on my Windows XP virtual machine, those videos play back with no visible or audible problems. Since MPEG StreamClip uses Perian, the converted.mp4 videos show the same problems. But wait a second. If both,.flv and.mp4 make use of the same video format (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) shouldn’t it be dead simple to extract the H.264 video stream and the audio stream and remux them to an iTunes-compatible.mp4 container, without transcoding the entire video? The good news is: yes, it actually is! And it’s free as well. The bad news is (well, for some): it’s only for the command line savvy.
All you need is ffmpeg. You may want to build your own ffmpeg binary but if you’re too lazy,. The source for this binary is taken straight from the latest SVN trunk so don’t expect it to work for anything other than explained in this post. I also had to apply a small fix in utils.c so ffmpeg doesn’t abort with “error, non monotone timestamps n = n” while remuxing slightly out-of-sync Flash videos. I linked all dependent libraries (like x264) statically so it’s just one large binary.

0 Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder Remuxing.flv to an.mp4 container Let’s say you want to convert in.flv to out.mp4. Your in.flv has an embedded H.264 video stream and an AAC audio stream.
Your target format is an iTunes-compatible.mp4 container with an embedded H.264 stream. Use this command to remux the.flv to.mp4: ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i in.flv out.mp4 That’s it! Ain’t that simple? And because there’s no transcoding involved, this process is super fast!
Transcode.flv to an.mp4 container Let’s say you want to convert a Flash video that contains an On2 VP6 video stream. You can’t simply remux the streams into an.mp4 container in this situation. The video stream needs to be transcoded from VP6 to MPEG-4 in order to be iTunes-compatible. Use this command to transcode.flv to.mp4: ffmpeg -sameq -i in.flv out.mp4 Obviously, transcoding from one video format into another will take a whole lot more time than remuxing.

Using ffmpeg for remuxing or transcoding Flash videos seems to deliver better results compared to all other video converters I was able to find for the Mac (not that there are many). Useful tricks Let’s say you want to remux all.flv (containing a H.264 stream) video files in a directory to.mp4. Here’s a simple shell script to do this: #!/bin/sh find.name '.flv' -print0 while read -d $' 0' file; do echo 'remuxing: $file' ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i '$file' '$file.mp4'. @Elias: Perian won’t have provided you with a working copy of ffmpeg.
You’ll need to download a copy for yourself and install it, then reference it in your Automator application. The only thing that might keep the Automator app from working is the issue raised in the original post of remixing vs. But that’s for later.
For now, Go to. Click on the top-most link to download the ffmpeg 0.82 binary.
Now, open a Finder window and drag the downloaded zip archive to the desktop. Double-click it to expand the archive. You now have an ffmpeg executable. Click on the Finder window to give it focus, then, from the Go menu choose the next-to-last item, “Go to Folder”. In the text-entry sheet that drops down in your Finder window type: /usr/local/bin/ and press Return. Drag the ffmpeg executable from your desktop into this directory.
You now have a.working. ffmpeg executable.
To get it to work in an Automator app, you’ll have to follow Jan’s suggestion above and enter the absolute path. So, here’s what’s next.
Open Automator and select an application template. In the Actions list on the left, click on the Utilities category in the Library. From the utilities, drag “Run Shell Script” action to the workflow area.
In the Run Shell Script action, leave the shell type set to “/bin/bash”. Set “Pass input” to “as arguments”. Delete the line that says “echo “@f” ” and replace it with the command for remuxing with the absolute path to ffmpeg added: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i “$f” “$f”.mp4 Save your application to the Application directory. Drag a copy to your Dock if you want. Finally, take it for a test-drive. If it doesn’t work, you may need to transcode the videos instead. Replace the above command with: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg sameq -i “$f” “$f”.mp4 and save your app.
That should take care of your vids. Now all you need to do is enjoy your trip! Sorry to dig up an old thread, but i am having problems. So i am running os x lion, and i am using this add-on in firefox which downloads tv shows off ABC iview (australia). It says in the link that the downloaded file needs to be run through the ‘flvuncontainer’, but the one provided by him no lunger works in the new firefox update.
So how can i uncontain(if that is to make it an itunes compatible mp4). I tried automator, i tried your app, Jan, but i am not sure what i have to change, if i have to change anything etc. I installed the perian thing, so i presume i have ffmpeg. This is my automator script: for f in “$@” do echo “$f” done for f in “$@” do ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i in.flv out.mp4 done Is this right?What shell type should it be (bin/???) Cheers, thanks heaps in advance, a speedy reply would be appreciated, am going away soon and want to put the videos on ipad. Any solution/help would be great!
Actually, there’s a way to do this without having to use terminal. Automator was built for things like this. Open Automator and choose “Application” in the “Chose a Template for your workflow” pane.
It’ll pop up a blank workflow. Add the run shell script action from Utilities making sure to change “Pass Input” to “as arguments. Then paste the following into the action: for f in “$@” do ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i “$f” “$f”.mp4 done Save it in your applications folder and add it to your dock. Then you can just drop your video files onto it and it’ll convert it without any command line kung foo!
