Converting mpeg/avi/… to flv flash movie under Ubuntu Linux

1) Install ffmpeg in flvtool2 ( sudo apt-get install ffmpeg flvtool2 )

2) Create file avi2flv.sh with the following content(or download it here avi2flv.sh ):

#!/bin/bash
tempfile=$(tempfile).flv

ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -r 20 -s 360x288  -deinterlace -ar 22050 "$tempfile"
cat "$tempfile" | flvtool2 -U stdin "$2"
rm -rf "$tempfile"

3) Run bash avi2flv.sh input.avi output.flv

4) Upload to web and use some free flv player like  http://pyg.keonox.com/tests/flash_flv_player/flvplayer.html to display it.
