Thanks-in-advance, Mischa </blockquote> Hi, The <a href="apt://transmageddon">transmageddon</a> (click to install) gui should do all you need, it can convert to a variety of multimedia formats/codecs and is very easy to use. If that doesn't do what you need, you could have a look at mencoder, ffmpeg, or even VLC's built-in conversion tools (Under Media>Convert/Save), there will be a tool in the packages somewhere that'll do what you need.
