this is scary. I ran the command and: ffmpeg ../Videos/oneoclockjump.flv OneOClockJump.mp3 ffmpeg version 0.8.3-4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers built on Jun 12 2012 16:37:58 with gcc 4.6.3 *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. File '../Videos/oneoclockjump.flv' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N] so this leaves me with some questions. 1- does avconv have the same syntax 2- why is it elling me it wants to write to the file I'm converting from? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 4:10 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > that is what I thought it told us to do!!
