Convert from the command line?

Hi,
I'm new here, so apologies if this is posted to the wrong forum.
Is it possible to use VLC to convert .mp3, .m4a and other audio formats into .flv (Flash) from a DOS command line?
Can you advise me on the syntax for this operation?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Dave

With some expert help (Thanks Brian!), here is the solution :
VLC will convert the file using the following syntax:
..Program Files\..\VLC>vlc -I dummy -vvv "AUDIO.m4a" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,acodec=mp3}:standard{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=C:\Users\doc\Documents\FLASH-VERSION.flv}
Explanation:
---------------
-I dummy : hides the VLC GUI and displays a diagnostics window.
“AUDIO.m4a” : Input file
--sout : Stream the output
#transcode : Specifies the format of the audio and video that go into the .flv file container
Standard { ... } : Specifies the location of the output file and the library to use for the conversion.

hi paul,
where can i get a more comprehensive list and explanation of all possible parameters?
for example on the example page, this example was used:
Code: Select all
% vlc http://example.com/live.asf --sout="#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst='C:\test\test.asf'},dst=nodisplay}"
now I tried to search for 'nodisplay' in the hope of finding other possible values but nothing was found.
thanks
