Convert Python.flv media files

Question

I am looking for a library like FFDshow to help me convert .flv format to .avi format and possibly do more. I understand that I can do this with a VLC player, but I would prefer to do it manually with Python (and in bulk).

Similar to:
media converter library / plugin preferably php
python automates ffmpeg conversion from download directory

Answer 1

Use ffmpeg. You can call it from python if you want.

ffmpeg -i in.flv -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame out.avi

Full documentation for converting files with ffmpeg can be found here .

Answer 2

pygst .flv ( ).
