I'm trying to dump the WMV stream with Mplayer. Then in theory I should be able to re-encode it into AVI format with Mencoder. The command line I'm using to dump the stream is: mplayer http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms2/news/n5ctrl/tvseq/od/bbc1/bb/wm/video/click_bb.wmv -dumpstream -dumpfile "dump.wmv" Then I'm hoping that this will work to encode it into AVI: mencoder dump.wmv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o encodedvideo.avi I haven't however got the whole stream dumped yet though so it may not work. Anyway, for future reference there is a link on the Ubuntu forums with regards to converting video files here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2810792 Ta, Rob -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
