Converting .flv video file to .avi
I want to convert a .flv format video file to .avi format.
I tried a ffmpeg command:
Code:
t0p@mars:~/Downloads$ ffmpeg -i Bowling\ For\ Columbine.avi.flv Bowling\ For\ Columbine.avi
ffmpeg version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers
built on Apr 2 2013 17:02:36 with gcc 4.6.3

[flv @ 0x140e9c0] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate
Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 47.95 (5994/125) -> 23.98 (24000/1001)
Input #0, flv, from 'Bowling For Columbine.avi.flv':

Incompatible sample format 's16' for codec 'ac3', auto-selecting format 'flt'

Output #0, avi, to 'Bowling For Columbine.avi':
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 576x304, q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 90k tbn, 23.98 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 44100 Hz, stereo, flt, 200 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
Stream #0.1 -> #0.1
Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
It did create a file, Bowling For Columbine.avi, but the file's size was 0 bytes. This is annoying: I've successfully used ffmpeg for conversion before.
Can anyone fix me up a simple way to do the conversion?
Cheers.

VLC can Transcode video from one format to another...
https://wiki.videolan.org/Transcode/
Or if you don't want to install anything on your computer you could try this...

Thanks for suggestions, I'll try them later.I will then return, to tell the forum what worked/didn't work,

Using the buggy and fake "ffmpeg" from libav is often an exercise in time wastage.
Please simply download a recent Linux build of ffmpeg (just download, extract, and run), or follow a step-by-step guide to compile ffmpeg.
I must ask: why AVI? It's a graybeard container format with much better and modern alternatives (mkv, mp4, etc).
