For my documentation. Here is the command line parameters, I used to convert a video file in mpg format to flv (flash video) format using ffmped (open source format converter)
ffmpeg -i Original_Video.mpg -deinterlace -ar 44100 -r 25 -qmin 3 -qmax 6 Converted_Video.flvI will post details on where to get software and such, when I have time
