What are the proper arguments to ffmpeg to covert an iPhone4 720p video into a similar quality Flash video?

I tried the following which resulted in a low quality Flash video:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov movie.flv

What are the right switches?

You're very close. Use this instead:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov -q:v 4 movie.flv

Change the q:v parameter to higher values for lower quality and lower file size.

  • The `sameq` option [does *not*](http://superuser.com/questions/478549/) ensure the video quality will be the same. – slhck Sep 24 '12 at 21:18
