Hello all,
What I want to do is pretty simple, just convert videos from h263 h264 in HD to something more suitable for pandora. I'm thinking in something old divx files from 10 years ago (man I'm old).
I really run a lot of tests with avconv and no matter what I try I end up with a video that looks like crap or else something bigger than the original file. Last time it was something like:
But this way I get a file with many artifacts specially when there is a fading between light and color, I don't really know how to explain well.
Does anyone with more experience can give some advice?
I'm not looking for avconv only, anything available in debian jessie suits me. As long as I can convert videos in bulk with it. Nowadays I just run avconv within a script that converts the file.

`avconv -y -i "${filename}" -s 760x540 -c:v mpeg4 -b:v 1200k -pass 1 -an -f mp4 /dev/null < /dev/null`
`avconv -i "${filename}" -s 760x540 -c:v mpeg4 -b:v 1200k -pass 2 -acodec copy -threads 12 "${filenameclean}"_low"${extension}" < /dev/null`
