Converting MP4 to FLV in Adobe Media Encoder fails

Question

I am trying to encode a .mp4 to a .flv

I've tried using the Adobe Media Encoder but the video is lost in the conversion process, leaving me a black screen and some audio.

I have yet to find something that can do this successfully for free. I found ffmpeg, which looks promising... but I can't figure out how to get it to work.

Answer 1

Total Video Converter. No is free but, you have download a trial. During this evaluation period, the software has full function except some limitations.

And here a video with the proccess to convert.

And a free program could be SUPER. Powerful but free.

Answer 2

I just needed to update the Adobe Media Encoder. I have a CS4 license so I don't know if it is free or not, but it is definitely my preference over anything else I've used (or tried to use).

I had exactly the same issue on my iMAC and found a free converter - search for "Kigo" - I use it pretty much every day and haven't had any issues with it. Not sure if it works on PC though.
