youtube transcoding?

Postby piroteki » 07 Sep 2006 06:08

i've been trying to transcode some youtube videos, and my videos have a green screen at the beginning and no sound. i've been trying to transcode to a .mp4 video, but i really want to transcode it to some format that will work with itunes. any suggestions?

i've also been having problems transcoding some .avi files with the DX50 codec, if i remember correctly... any help there either?

thanks.

Download PodTube, it'll do it all for you.

... or get iSquint. It does the same.

VLC can't transcode youTube videos because of their FLASH-nature. FLASH content can only played. Further processing isn't possible.

That's interesting, because I can download .flv files from Youtube, transcode them in standard VLC (Windows) and get an mpg or asf file out that works. (which I then convert to iPod format).

Try for yourself! :)
