How to convert AVI files into MPGs with ffmpeg

aviffmpegfile conversion

I have this problem with some AVI files. The output of

ffmpeg -i file.avi

contains the line

[NULL @ 0x97c4d40]Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected.

Someone advised me to use

ffmpeg -i file.avi -vcodec h263 -acodec aac -f mpg output.mpg

to convert the file to the correct format, but that produces the error

Unknown input or output format: mpg

How can I convert my files?

Best Answer

mpeg instead of mpg

ffmpeg -i file.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -f mpeg output.mp4
