    Smile [HOWTO:] ".ogv"s won't upload to YouTube! Video formats

    I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop and I have recently been using gtk-recordMyDesktop.

    I have been recording some Minecraft videos (recording as I am playing and speaking) and I have found recordMyDesktop automatically saves its files as ".ogv"s. I have not been able to find any way of saving these videos as anyhting different.

    When I have tried uploading these videos onto YouTube I have spent 30-60 minutes uploading them before playing them and finding a completely blank green screen like this.

    So basically I am asking; How do I convert ".ogv"s into something that I can upload onto YouTube???

    Assuming you have a file named "minecraft1.ogv", you can try the following. Open a terminal, and navigate to wherever you have the file stored. Then type:

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i minecraft1.ogv minecraft1.mpg

    That is what the first person suggested and I am currently using that.
