How to convert ogv files to other formats

I recently started recording my desktop with Recordmydesktop and found out that the file type that it uses to save the recording session was "OGV" file type, well I try uploading the ogv file in a few places but most places won't even recognize it. so I search around for a way to convert the file and so far WinFF is the easiest way I found.

WinFF is a GUI for the command line video converter, FFmpeg. It will convert most of any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can convert mpeg’s, flv’s, and mov’s, all into avi’s, all at once.
WinFF also includes a version of FFmpeg, so user does not need to seperately download FFmpeg package.

Some features of WinFF

-Easy to use interface.

-High quality output.

-Converts multiple different files all to the same format at once, e.g. convert mpeg’s, flv’s, and mov’s, all into avi’s all at once.

-Convert video to audio.

-Convert between audio formats.

-No external codecs needed.

-Includes a variety of preset conversion settings for common formats and devices.

First go to System > Administration > Synaptic package manager and search for "WinFF" and mark it for installation you'll have some dependencies mark them as well.
or you can also download it from here but I like to use Synaptic because things are more stable.

after the installation is done go to Applications > Sound and Video > WinFF to launch it, this is what it should look like

next click on "add" and browse for the file you want to convert in my case is a OGV file I recorded with "recordmydesktop"

now you need to choose the conversion type from the "convert to" pull down menu as well as farme rate video vibrate etc...

after that just hit convert you should see the terminal pop up once is done it will ask you to press enter to finish

Thats it enjoy converting your favorites formats

note: Im still looking for a way to convert OGV files to GIF is its at all possible
