Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

Question

I am using this command to convert an avi,mov,m4v video files to flv format via FFMPEG

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i \'/home/public_html/files/video_1355440448.m4v\'          


        

Answer 1

You are given an error message

[flv @ 0x68b1a80] requested bitrate is too low

You need to change bitrate to a valid. It is better if you use a different codec

-acodec libmp3lame

And remove the option -sameq. This option does NOT mean 'same quality'. Actually means 'same quantizers'!
