Arista Transcoder – Video conversion tool for Ubuntu
Every now and then, you find it necessary to convert your video format to some other format to fit it into your mobile device, ipod or any other video player. If you’re on windows you may use Videora, or Total Video converter. But when you’re on Ubuntu, you may find it very difficult to find the right package. But here’s one which’s too good, very simple and very intuitive.
If you’re not sure of the format you want to convert it to, you can just right away select the device to which you’re converting the file to. Just select any of the following device from the list: Android, Computer, DVD Player, iPhone/iPod/iPad, Nokia N Series or Web.
In addition to all this, you can create a video using your webcam directly and store it in any of the formats as said above. You can also create presets and store them and share them with others. You can visit the preset page of arista transcoder for more information.
sudo apt-get install arista
Hope that saves a lot of time for you.
Online FLV to Other format converter
In my last post on downloading you tube videos, i gave a small tricky website that does all the job of downloading movies in .flv format. Downloading in .flv format is not always handy. And downloading in .flv and then converting it to other using softwares is lot of work. So here are 3 simple websites for your simple work. Clicks away are your videos in your desired formats.
- http://www.flv2mp3.com/
Use this site if you only want the audio track from it. Enter the link and the website will give you back another link. Save that link and you will get that particular video’s audio track only. That too in a convenient .mp3 format - http://www.videoconvertx.com/
Enter the link of the video that you want to download. Select the output format of that video. And you’ll get that! As easy as that. Takes no time. - http://www.convertdirect.com/
This site is a combination of www.videoconvertx.com and downloadyoutubevideos.com which i told in my last post. You can either download video directly in .flv format or you can get it converted and download in your desired output. If you are downloading the converted video, then you need to give your email id to which the link will be sent to. Better hang on to the other 2 sites given above.
Isn’t that easy?
