I found this script: #!/bin/bash base=`echo $1 | gawk -F. '{print $1}' `
echo "$1 $base" vlc -vvv "$1" :sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:standard{access=file,url=$base.mp4}" vlc:quit --aspect-ratio "4:3" --sout-transcode-width 360 --sout-transcode-height 240 --sout-transcode-fps 30 to convert avi files to mp4 files to be sent to a video ipod. When I run it on a sample avi file, the video is present, but there is no audio. I'm also posting on the vlc forum but wanted to try here too. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
