Flash flv or mp4 to mpeg mpg or mp3 with FFmpeg

30Nov13

ffmpeg -i input.flv -sameq output.mpg
ffmpeg -i input.flv -sameq output.avi

This works with 480p flv/mp4 video files from YouTube that are difficult to play otherwise.

Update:  For newer versions of ffmpeg use -qscale 0 instead of -sameq.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -qscale 0 output.mp3
