I am using ffmpeg version 0.11.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers
. I need to convert a file .mp4, to .ogg format. I am on Mac OS X, and I have tried this so far:
ffmpeg -i sample_mpeg4.mp4 -acodec vorbis -vcodec libtheora -f ogg output.ogv
I am getting: Unknown encoder 'libtheora'
ffmpeg -i sample_mpeg4.mp4 -acodec libvorbis -vcodec --enable-libtheora output.ogv
I am getting: Unknown encoder '--enable-libtheora'
ffmpeg -i sample_mpeg4.mp4 -acodec libvorbis -vcodec libtheora -f ogv output.ogv
I am getting:
[NULL @ 0x7f81bb00f800] Requested output format 'ogv' is not a suitable output format
output.ogv: Invalid argument
ffmpegtheora
is not an option as it can not be install on the server.
What about
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 file.ogg
? This works on my Debian wheezy box, not sure about Mac OS X. – user49740 – 2013-01-09T13:48:01.920Nope. It does not work – Unknown – 2013-01-09T13:54:44.560
Then it's an OSX-specific problem. You most probably don't have the required codecs. – user49740 – 2013-01-09T13:56:45.113
