Convert videos to G1 compatible format with FFMPEG in Ubuntu

[kallisti5]

Install needed Ubuntu packages
sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51 libavdevice-unstripped-52 libavformat-unstripped-52 libavutil-unstripped-49 libpostproc-unstripped-51 libswscale-unstripped-0 ffmpeg faac

Encode that sucker
ffmpeg -i myvideo.avi -s 480x256 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 16000 -r 13 -ab 32000 -aspect 3:2 -padtop 32 -padbottom 32 myvideo.g1.mp4

Got this for a source 640x480 video:

ffmpeg -i myvideo.avi -s 428x320 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 16000 -r 13 -ab 32000 -aspect 3:2 -padright 26 -padleft 26 myvideo.mp4

Too bad it's so much work getting a version of ffmpeg that can do h264, cause the quality is not that great with the normal mpeg4 codec. :s

I appreciate Moyea Video Converter, a professional and powerful video conversion program, could help you to convert versatile video files to T-mobile G1 for playback. This software could easily help convert videos from Youtube.com, Vimeo.com, CBS. com and etc to T-mobile G1 or other mobile. Of course, uploading G1 videos to some video-sharing website online is also a great fun.

Aside of its excellent conversion feature, this software allows users to enhance the videos before transmitting to G1 or video-sharing online. For example, “aged film” special effect may be a vogue choice for some movies.

Available for PC, Moyea Video Converter occupies less HDD space owing to the built-in green Codec environment. Its advanced multi-thread decoding/encoding technology simplifies the conversion process, and further save users’ time and energy.

All in all, Moyea Video Converter is the best choice for you to convert videos to G1 or whatever video websites you desire.

Best wishes,
Norman

Sometimes I suffer from how to convert video format into a working one that it can run on my Android tablet, but I didn't find a good one because of the problem of compatibility. Now, I have found this one you put here. I will try it.
Tks very much.!

Here's what I use for my HTC Desire when the video isn't in mp4 format:

ffmpeg -y -i $1 -vcodec mpeg4 -s 720x480 -r 15 -b 700k -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 32000 -ab 64k -f 3gp $OUTFILE
