[Ffmpeg-user] Convert MPG to FLV with MetaData

[Luc Levesque]

Hello,

    I am trying to transcode a mpg file to flv so that it can be played in 
the FLVplayer available here:
http://www.proxus.com/components/FLV_Player.php

    I use this command line to convert my mpeg file:

ffmpeg -i movie.mpg -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 -y 
movie.flv

OUTPUT OF COMMAND BELOW:

Although the FLV file plays, it doesn't show the progress in the player. The 
support site for this player states that this is caused by the FLV not 
containing the " MetaData duration info ". Can ffmpeg inject this required 
MetaData information into the newly crete flv file? Here is a link to the 
problem summary:
