How to convert movies to 3gp (mobile phones)

[Zhukov]

Hi there!

I've managed to develop a small app in Mono to convert movies from flv, avi and mpeg to 3gp.

It has a script for Ubuntu (install-ubuntu) and another one just to compile the program (make).

Be advised that after running install-ubuntu you must sudo dpkg -i <ffmpeg.deb name>

Feel free to post your comment and request features!

Enjoy!

Download:
3gp Creator 2

FFmpeg deb

bbbb3.mpg: I/O error occured
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.
Error
/bin/rm: kan `bbbb3.mpg' niet verwijderen: Onbekend bestand of map



The file is converted to mpg and does excist , quality is pretty good , still i see an error message i dont understand .....

[loell]

same here..

[buildid]

so i did it again second time , this time i succeed...

a file name with a space into the name is not what ffmpg like
if it fails , drag the file again into the gui without closing it ..

[Zhukov]

Well, i cant do much about the space issue.
I'll add a notification of sucess or failure.

I'll also look in the deb issue as soon as i can.

Glad someone found it usefull

Regards!

[buildid]

how about encoding to mp4 a new option included into the gui ?
would be nice

mobile phone playing ,mp4 not 3gp

[Zhukov]

Ok, i'll try to fix all the issues tomorow morning, including the mp4 one.

Regards!

[buildid]

thanks great

[Zhukov]

Ok, i managed it! FFmpeg was a pain in the ***
I made the debs, it is only missing the 3gp converter deb but im too tired now. Ill post them tomorrow (if i can) or Thursday after lunch (i have an exam), just wanted to say something to you guys!

Anyway, iPod user out there, i believe there is a better tool with a lot of options:
