HowTo convert ogg to avi with mencoder

Published October 5, 2007 avi , convert , howto , media , ogg , ubuntu

If I screencast something, than most of the time I do it with recordMyDesktop which produces .ogg-Videos. If you need to convert it so you can show it to your friend or upload it to a video hosting page like youtube or so you have to convert it into another format. I chose avi as format.

Simply fire up this command to convert your file:

mencoder out.ogg -o out.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc

out.ogg is the .ogg-file you want to convert
out.avi is the .avi-file you want to create
mp3lame is the used audio-codec (here mp3)
lavc is the used video-codec (here libavcodec)

For more information you can look at the MPlayer manual page.
