ffmpeg Encode video and audio for streaming with flowplayer

Question

I'm using FFmpeg version 0.6 enabled with h264 libraries and having a hard time encoding video and audio to work with flowplayer.

I have tested flowplayer with videos that have already been encoded properly and it does indeed stream them.

so my question is how would I encode videos using ffmpeg for h264 pseudo streaming with flowplayer. I do have my streaming server set up and properly streaming the test videos.

So the question is how to encode something into h264? or how to get them to stream with flowplayer? — TorelTwiddler, Jul 07 '11 at 23:24

this worked as a shell script

#!/bin/bash
  infile="billboardReplaceFvS_jun29.mov"
  tmpfile="billboardReplaceFvS_jun29.mov_tmp.mp4"
  tmpfile2="billboardReplaceFvS_jun29.mov_tmp2.mp4"
  outfile="video.mp4"
  options="-vcodec libx264 -b 1200k -flags +loop+mv4 -cmp 256 \
       -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 \
       -me_method hex -subq 7 -trellis 1 -refs 5 -bf 3 \
       -flags2 +bpyramid+wpred+mixed_refs+dct8x8 -coder 1 -me_range 16 \
           -g 150 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -qmin 10\
       -qmax 51 -qdiff 4"

  ffmpeg -y -i "$infile" -an -pass 1 -threads 2 $options "$tmpfile"

  ffmpeg -y -i "$tmpfile" -acodec libfaac -ar 44100 -ab 96k -pass 2 -threads 2 $options "$tmpfile2"

  qt-faststart "$tmpfile2" "$outfile"
