I'm stupid and got myself into needing to turn almost 50GB of .mkv into .flv
Now, I hate .flv, but I need consistency and tiny files and .flv seems to meet that ok. (Open to recommendations)
I need to convert it by tomorrow morning, and I have my GTX 770 and i7 870 ready to crunch. I am doing 14.7GB in Freemake Video Converter, but it's being slow. Most footage is 720p, with some 1080p and 480p.

50gig by tomorrow morning? Good luck man. I was going to recommend Freemake but it looks like that's what you're already using. Not a lot of encoders out there even recognize flv let alone convert to it.

What codecs are your mkv files using? x264 for video but what about the audio? AAC or mp3 or something else?

AAC. To be honest I have no idea what I'm doing. It looks like freemake will get 50GB done by ~8am tomorrow for me but it isn't using CUDA when that is advertised, and I thought it might make it faster.
The 870 by itself managed the 14 in 2 1/2 hours. I might be able to pull this off. ;)

I like Daum Potplayer myself, used to use VLC for years.

My bad you said converter, sorry.

Handbrake will only convert to .mp4 or .mkv and I'm not sure that CUDA works on anything but .h264 in an .mp4 or .mkv either.

Could you encode with MPEG-4 Level 2 instead? Quality would suffer but it will be a lot faster. What settings are you using?

D:
I have no idea what most of these words mean. I can use .mp4, but I have some in .flv and would like to keep it that way. If I could redo them all in mp4 that would be ok.
I have no idea how to change to MPEG or anything, and I just set it to auto and keep original file settings.

Who is dissing him? I don't see anyone in this thread calling him stupid or making fun of him. Just people asking questions and giving suggestions.:confused:

Cept I almost always include exactly what I am responding to when I post. This was no exception. Clearly, I was responding to HIM.
