Yes it converts it to mpeg already, avi is just the container (if I'm
not mistaking). ffmpeg cannot write wmv files as far as I know. If you
would like to specify the target format use the following option in your
command (taken from ffmpeg's man page):
-target type
Specify target file type ("vcd", "svcd", "dvd", "dv", "dv50",
"pal-vcd", "ntsc-svcd", ... ). All the format options (bitrate, codecs,
buffer sizes)
are then set automatically. You can just type:
ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg
-komputes
