I'm sure many have you familiar with how to download videos from YouTube and we all know that the format are in FLV.

We know how to open those files in Linux but what if we want to open them in DVD player ? Then you need to convert them at least to AVI or MPEG formats.


Although there are many ways and applications to convert them, this time we will try to convert FLV into MPG video.

Install the required encoder/decoder
sudo apt-get install mencoder avidemux transcode ffmpeg2theora
To convert the FLV video into MPG, use this command
ffmpeg -i video1.flv -y -sameq video1.mpg


Notes : The command above will change file Video1.flv into Video1.mpg
