Decided to write a simple script for exporting all my video content to streaming .flvs:
in batchconvert.rb
path = “.”
#contains = Dir.new(basedir).entries
videos = Dir["#{path}/*.mov"]
videos.each do |f|
puts “converting #{f}”
newFile = f.gsub(“.mov”, “.flv”)
system(“ffmpeg -i #{f} -ar 22050 -s 640×480 -b 500000 #{newFile}”)
system(“flvtool2 -U #{newFile}”)
end
To run this command, open up the Terminal and navigate to your video directory. Then run:
ruby batchconvert.rb
This script doesn’t include any switches or options for files other than .movs.
Files: batchconvert
