Convert *.OGV files to *.MPG with ffmpeg

Editing *.ogv files seems not to work very well with most video editors. You need an easy streaming format like *mpeg , *.mpg for most editors to work properly.

Converting *.OGV to *.MPG with FFMPEG


Open Terminal screen, and type:  
ffmpeg -i inputfile.ogv -qscale 1 -ab 256k outputfile.mpg
Changing qscale to a higher number decreases the quality and downsizes the file size. 


* include the full path to "inputfile" and "outputfile", or first change to the directory containing the input file (cd /yourpath/inputfile.ogv)
