FFmpeg - flv converts to mp4 but won't do wmv avi or mpg? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm having no problem converting FLV's into iPod/iPhone friendly .mp4 files but when I try to convert to wmv, avi or mpg the file becomes corrupted. Anyone know what gives?

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i 1.flv test.wmv

Edit: they won't play in the browser or Windows Media Player but I can play them with a VLC media player.. maybe there's some kind of -codec setting I need to put into the command?

Aw c'mon, certified hosting won't help with this stuff

These worked, I knew it was just a codec thing missing:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i 1.flv -vcodec wmv1 -acodec adpcm_ima_wav test.wmv
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i 1.flv -vcodec msmpeg4v2 test.avi

ffmpeg only supports certain versions of wmv

older ones so useless for wmv really,
besides almost every format should have its own process for optimal quality, ffmpeg is good for some things but by far not them all

the answer to your problem lays in the binary codec pack on mplayerhq.hu

So do I just have my host install this pack? Does it benefit FFmpeg (sorry I don't know shit about this stuff)?
