new tool script to mass convert .flv to .avi files
Just wanted to advertise the availability of a little bash script I wrote that will mass convert all .flv files to x264 encoded .avi files in a given directory with a single command. This is useful for example if you you use have a number of youtube videos you wish to convert to x264 encoded video in the .avi container for playback later.
I found the original script written by 3ED_0 in the AUR here which I adapted to run without arguments. As such, it can be run on an entire directory of .flv files without user interaction. It does this making use of mediainfo to determine the video and audio bitrates from the original files to pass on to the new files, and by some simple bash commands to handle filenames.
Comments are welcome.
