Any recommandation for a command line video converter?

[schnee]

Hi,

Can any one recommand a good command line video converter for Windows
that could
- be executed from ColdFusion (any command line converter should do it)
- convert to FLV Flash format;
- retrieve metadata from input file like duration, original width and
height;
- extract thumbnail images;
- reasonable price ie below 300$

So far, the best candidate seems to be Total Video Converter Command line,

but $386 seems just a bit excessive to me

Thanks

I think ffmpeg does all of that stuff, for free. But $386 doesn't
really seem excessive for tools in this category - the tool that I'm
most familiar with is Sorenson Squeeze, which is around $500 if I
recall correctly.
