FFMPEG is pixelated

Whenever I convert videos through FFMPEG the videos are very pixelated. Can anyone help?

Here is how I convert them:

exec("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i '$file' -y -ab 64 -ar 22050 -b 200 -r 25 -s 650*450 '$dest'");

Code (markup):

 

check ffmpeg install ok ?

 

Yes, it is installed. Works fine, just the videos are pixelated.

Should I try mencoder?

 

Yes. MEncoder is a much better option in my opinion. MEncoder produces a smaller file size, better image quality and supports a lot more file extensions than FFmpeg. You will also need to run FlvTool2 on the generated FLV file.

 

Is there a tutorial on how to convert the files using MEncoder and FlvTool2?

 

I will send you an example of how to encode a video using MEncoder and FlvTool2.

 

Nerve are you ok ?

 

No, it still didn't work.
