Hello.

I would like to know how it is possible to encode videos of different formats (mp4, mov, mpg, wmv) to MOV using ffmpeg.

I was wondering which command I need to use. The specs I need are as follows:

Video Container: MOV

Video Codec: AVC

Video Bitrate: 2.000 kbps

Audio Codec: AAC

Audio Bitrate: 128 kbps

Framesize: 640 x 360

Thanks for your help.

Matt
