just use x264 and be done with it... mjpeg and xvid are outdated codecs (well, if you want to use mjpeg for fast decompression, that's another story)

Unfortunately Mjpeg and Photojpeg are the major codecs accepted for stock videos... I would love to use H264, but I just can't... :-(

Hi!
I'm using ffmpeg to convert videos from H264 to Mjpeg (to upload on Videostock sites and to edit easily with my old computer), and what I do is to put all the files that I want to convert in a folder and then I run this script (some things are in Italian, just change adapt the address of your folder...)

Code Select Expand

#!/bin/bash

# Roba da convertire
roba=/home/gigi/Videos/Mjpeg/Convertire/*

# Inizio del ciclo
for file in /home/gigi/Videos/Mjpeg/Convertire/*; do `ffmpeg -i $file -r 30 -s hd1080 -vcodec mjpeg  -qmax 1 -qmin 1 -acodec copy $file.mov` ;done


exit 0;



You can adapt the script changing the quality and the format... Check http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Video-Options

I would love to buy a 5D Mark III, but it's out of my budget at the moment!!

Hi!
You can try this program: http://www.squared5.com/
It works pretty well with Wine.
Otherwise I use ffmpeg, or Kdenlive for basic editing.
