RE: [backstage] Lifehacker's Top Ten free video rippers encoders and converters
I am a Linux monkey, but to be honest, I have yet to find Linux
particularly good for basic video editing. There are tools out there
like Kino which do work very well if you're using a DV source, but I'm
generally not and I've not always had much joy with converting files and
then opening them in Kino.
As it happens, my PC came with a copy of Windows Media Centre, and I
keep it on a small partition for such occassions. I've used Digital
Media Converter (http://www.deskshare.com/dmc.aspx) in the past - does
batch conversions nicely, but barfs at the odd file - but it doesn't
support FLV annoyingly, so Riva looks like a good bet.
Wasn't aware that ffmpeg did flv, although I should have guessed! I
mean, is there anything it doesn't do? :)

riva converts to flv on the desktop if you don't have flash

it's windows tho so if you're using an alternative OS it's not
for you.
there's also ffmpeg: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/faq.html

It's a shame that there's so little emphasis on converting to
flv format - everything I see is about converting from or playing them
(I'm involved with a website which currently embeds video in Real,
Windows Media or occassionally QuickTime and MPEGs due to historical
reasons, and I'm wondering about a Flash video trial using the FLV
player)

Well, the system doing the calls to HeyWatch is
proprietary, and firewalled (written in ASP.net, with a MySQL backend).
But the output is listed here...

Looking forward to H.264 in the mainstream flash player
- then it'll be hello HD (depending on bandwidth and HD source material,
both of which are plentiful).

Re: [backstage] Lifehacker's Top Ten free video rippers encoders and converters
HeyWatch solves several problems that we (play.tm, as content publishers) have encountered. Multiplatform - doesn't matter what platform you're on (Windows, OSX etc) Bandwidth - upload speeds on various connections (often ADSL, cable, or at conferences where every sucker is draining the Wifi) is rubbish. HeyWatch lets us give it a URL of the video (including over FTP), and it ingests it and spits the outputs out at upto 20mbit/sec (they seem to limit it). Cost - zero fixed cost, no cost per desk, fits our business model of more content more revenue.
