I have a video in .ogv and want to convert it to .mp4 so I can upload it to youtube.

I am trying ffmpeg for it:

ffmpeg -i *.ogv -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 Windup-demo.mp4

After conversion, the video is out of sync - the audio sounds ok, but the video seems to rush. The original video is recorded using RecordMyDesktop, 5 frames per second, audio 48000 samples per second stereo.

What can I try to fix this?

(I am accepting any result that will get the video to YouTube.)

I've tried ffmpeg -r 5 -i Windup-2.5.0-shortDemo-04.ogv -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec h264 -r 5 Windup-demoX.mp4, no success - the sync got even worse.

EDIT: I have tried ffmpeg -r 5 -i Windup-2.5.0-shortDemo-04.ogv -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec libx264 -r 5 -vsync cfr Windup-demoX.mp4 or with vfr but no success.

So the question turns down to "how to force ffmpeg to use the right output framerate.

I have also tried the static build from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ . I've tried to encode it back to OGV, using -vcodec libtheora, but that was failing with 'invalid option', didn't figure out what was wrong.

I've also tried ffmpeg -loglevel info -r:v 5 -framerate 5 -i Windup-2.5.0-shortDemo-04.ogv -acodec copy -vcodec h264 -r 15 Windup-demoX.mp4. -framerate should be usable as input parameter, but it says "Option framerate not found.". For output it works.

$ ffmpeg -i Windup-2.5.0-shortDemo-04.ogv -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 Windup-demoX.mp4

  • I am coming to a conclusion that I've made a mistake of using RecordMyDesktop, and setting it to 5 FPS.

What I did in the end was a bit ridiculous.

I played the video in VLC, and recorded that again with RecordMyDesktop with 30 FPS and with "full frame every frame" option. This had a terrible audio, but YouTube ate it.

Then I uploaded another version with the desynced video but good audio. Then I used YouTube editor to mix these two together. The result is a bit "visually challenged", but at least I don't have to re-record it.

I'm still accepting anything better.

  • A better solution would be to use ffmpeg to record your desktop into MP4 directly.
