Convert WAV to FLV audio only on Mac cheap?
April 6, 2011 7:08 AM   Subscribe

[My friend has] a 771mb .wav audio file [he] desperately needs to compress into an audio-only .flv file. Is there a freeware, shareware or inexpensive software tool that will help [him accomplish] this? Big thanks in advance.

I just successfully tested a .wav to .flv conversion using ffmpeg and Perian on Mac OS X:

ffmpeg -i inputfilename.wav outputfilename.flv

I'm not sure about .flv support on other platforms, but I'm sure similar packages exist.

Audacity can do this via Export using custom setting for ffmpeg. It runs just fine on OS X.

Seconding ffmpeg will run on Windows, Linux, or Mac, as long as you are not command-line-phobic. And 90% of the other tools are just going to use ffmpeg in the background anyway (like the aforementioned audacity).
