I have OOo 2.4 on Ubuntu and all works well. However, I will be using version 2.2/Windows when I make a presentation in class a couple weeks from now, because that is what is installed on the university's computer. I think both versions can play AVI, MPEG, Quicktime and Vivo files, so I don't think the version difference will be an issue.
My problem is that the video I need to play came to me in .flv format (from Youtube). The video is at 320 x 240, 28.874 fps, total 13,717 frames. When played on the screen in the classroom the resolution is pretty bad. And, of course, it needs to be converted to another format for Impress anyway. I started trying ffmpeg (a command line tool), but couldn't figure it out. I know nothing of how video works, so I failed to understand what any of the options do. I had better luck with avidemux. At least it is a GUI. I managed to improve the video by using noise filters, but I can't get the sound to work in the output file. Again, there are a bewildering array of options and I don't understand how they work or what they're for. Can anyone suggest a simple Linux tool for converting .flv to .avi or .mpeg and resampling the video? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
