Convert MPG files to FLV using ffmpeg?

[fred2028]

Hi, I'm running ClipBucket (video hosting software much like YouTube) on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server x64. Conversion of AVI to FLV works just fine, however when I try to upload an MPG file, it fails. Apparently I should recompile ffmpeg to allow for MPG > FLV conversions. How would I go about doing this? Thanks!

I've installed my ffmpeg initially with that topic. I can upload and convert AVI and WMV files, it's just MPG files so far that are causing trouble.

Does WinFF fail too? It is just a GUI frontend to ffmpeg.
