Right, the format is ffmpeg -i < input file > < outputfile > .. unless you want to change bit rates codecs and so forth. I believe that the ffmpeg comes with various presets which is chosen based on the output extension normally. You can override them by passing options. I haven't experimented with media files with the encoding type stripped off..

that is what I thought it told us to do!! I thought it odd that we didn't have to tell it what they output file type was except just on the output file name. So then to covert it to like an MP4 it would be ffmpeg -i filename.flv filename.mp4 ? In the same regard it seems ffmpeg converts input.xxx to output.yyy . Is that right? What if we have a media file with the encoding type striped off?

ffmpeg -i filename.flv filename.mp3 should do it.
