Convert ogv to mp4 or flv Ubuntu
This was serially annoying to figure out. However, in the process I found probably the best Ubuntu tutorial ever. I mean, thorough installation instructions are great but they even guide you through uninstalling your first failed attempt AND tell you how to undo the tutorial you just followed!
and then it is
$ ffmpeg -i /tmp/input-2.ogv /tmp/output.mp4
$ ffmpeg -i /tmp/input-2.ogv /tmp/output.flv
Note, I also got PiTiVi to convert ogv to flv but ogv to mp4 failed.
I did get one error
dpkg-deb: error: parsing file '/var/tmp/tmp.wbpjpldtdB/package/DEBIAN/control' near line 7 package 'ffmpeg':
error in Version string '5:git-2012-12-07-1f46722-1': version number does not start with digit

(END)
/var/tmp/tmp.wbpjpldtdB/dpkgbuild.log
and don't know what it means or how to fix it but that doesn't matter because things appear to work.
