*.OGV to *.AVI with mencoder

if you want to convert your screen recordings (*.ogv) to (*.avi), you can use ffmpeg to do the job. .. but since my version resulted a garbled up quality (seems to be a known bug ) , I resorted to mencoder .

Here is how.

mencoder input-file.ogv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output-file.avi
