well, I searched the man page for 'resolution', '720' & '480' but to my uneducated view there was nothing appropriate.

I will have to take a close look at the ffmpeg man page. I am sure there is a command line switch that can select resolution size.

I have been using ffmpeg. How do I set it up for 480 and also 720?

Well, there are some command line tools you can use like ffmpeg. Also, there is a linux version of Handbrake that can convert just about any video/audio streaming format to mp4. You can then set it up for either 480p or 720p depending on your machines display requirements.

Well, the default if removing -sameq produces something with a little better result but it is still to resource intensive for my puter. Is .mov a little more basic? (I can't figure out the man page)

I recorded a instruction session with someone today and my computer can't handle the video output. The sound is OK but the video plays in spurts and then it is just frozen. I looked up how to convert the .flv file to an .mp4 (ffmpeg -i filename.flv -sameq -ar 22050 filename.mp4) but would taking out the -sameq produce a lower quality video which might play on my weak machine? Should I put another option in? How would I create a lower quality video if just removing the -sameq option doesn't play?
