Converting FLV To MP4

Postby codynanney » 20 May 2010 04:06

I am needing help converting a video from flash to MP4 , when I do this on my own I get a file that won't open in quicktime ( im using a mac) it says video has an invalid sample description, or I get a file that has audio only and no video. What do I need to do? I have tried this many many times and Ive searched the web finally I broke down and decided to ask on the forums. I need the video to be in Mp4 format or mov format so I can import it into final cut pro.

You need to either remux the MP4 file or to use the ffmpeg muxer. Check this thread for more informations:
