Converting files to mp3
I have previously used Lame to convert different file formats to mp3. Having stumbled on some mp4 videos that refused to being converted to mp3 I thought I’d try my luck with FFmpeg instead.
Using FFmpeg was quite easy:
ffmpeg -i infile outffile.mp3
Controlling the bit-rate of the created file:
ffmpeg -b 192 -i infile outffile.mp3
The mp4 file was converted to mp3 without problems. Mission accomplished!

ffmpeg
An advanced tool and able to handle most file formats, is ffmpeg. Install it with:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Converting to SVCD
Convert all files in current directory to SVCD (PAL):
for file in *; do ffmpeg -i $file -target pal-svcd ${file}_final.mpg ; done
Convert all files in current directory to SVCD (NTSC):
for file in *; do ffmpeg -i $file -target ntsc-svcd ${file}_final.mpg ; done
Converting to VCD
Convert all files in current directory to VCD (PAL):
for file in *; do ffmpeg -i $file -target pal-vcd ${file}_final.mpg ; done
Convert all files in current directory to VCD (NTSC):
for file in *; do ffmpeg -i $file -target ntsc-vcd ${file}_final.mpg ; done
Merging mpg-files
Combine two mpg-files to one, as mpeg:
cat file1.mpg file2.mpg |ffmpeg -i - -f mpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy merged.mpg
Combine two mpg-files to one, converting to SVCD while keeping the audio in sync:
