Hi All,

I've recently started using get_iplayer again for video files (on OSX), since my broadband provider now allows me to download for free during the night.

For some reason, I never used to have get_iplayer setup correctly - it just downloaded the FLV file, and I left it as that.

But now I've done things properly and it's all working nicely, including the conversion and downloading of jpeg etc at the end with FFMPEG.

I have some old FLV files I would like to convert using FFMPEG (since it just does the strip out of the H264 and not a real conversion it's nice and quick). But I don't know which options to use for this, since it's not obvious when the iplayer script does it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any assistance!

ffmpeg -i file.flv -c copy -y file.mp4

That's great, works perfectly, thanks!

And now you've triggered me to have another look at get_iplayer and I have realised that I can use --verbose to see what it's doing with atomicparsely et al, and maybe I can then sort out the artwork and tagging and so on...

Cheers!
