Transforming arbitrary films to flash player format

For posting on Gallery (2.2 at least), converting the films to Flash format is convenient – it reduces quality, but also size (youtube?). You still need to do it offline. On a linux system, try

ffmpeg -i input.MPG -s (sizeX)x(sizeY) -ac 2 -ar 44100 -r 24 output.flv

This will recode input.MPG with two audio-channels, at 24 fps, to a flash movie.
