Simple video transcoding with ffmpeg
A really simple command to transcode a video file from one format/ container to another can be achived with
ffmpeg -i inspectorgadget.ogg inspectorgadget.avi
This illustrates the basic command-scheme ffmpeg uses. In this case ffmpeg transcodes an .ogg file to an .avi file (actually it just changes the container format). No further processing is done.
