  • Fastest .mov to .flv converter on a mac?

    Posted by Clifton Long on July 22, 2009 at 1:29 am

    Hi, I have an upcoming project that requires me to convert about 20 1-hour clips (DV NTSC .mov format) to .flv flash video. Can anyone recommend the fastest conversion software or conversion method for a project like this?

    Thank you so much for the help!

    Telestream Episode Pro.

    Matrox Compress HD will create a mov file that will work in Flash and playback in Flash player.

    As Steve implied Adobe has fully integrated H.264 into Flash, so hardware encoders that get you that can speed things up. Microsoft Silverlight has also adopted H.264. Look at their sites to get specifics on the exact specs accepted.

    Episode Pro is a fine encoder, but it costs. You already have Compressor. If you make an H.264 at the size and data rate you need with Compressor and then change the extension from .mov to .flv you’re done. Compressor can use all 8 cores of a Mac Pro and is very quick.

    In order to convert MOV to FLV video, you must have FLV Converter for Mac OS X. After that you can follow the user guide to convert the video. However, if you want fastest video conversion then you will need to configure some conversion settings such as frame size, frame rate, audio codec, bit rate etc. After adjusting these settings, you can achieve fastest mov to flv conversion.
