Converting mpg to avi(mpg4/xvid)

[peyote]

Hi!

How can I convert a mpg2 video to mpg4 (xvid) the easy way?
I am using debian and tried:
transcode -i video.mpg -o video.avi -y divx,mp3

but this doesn't work and I et the following error message:

It seems to be something is missing related to mp3.
Any ideas?

Avidemux, http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ is probably what you want. Its fully gui driven, copying virtualdub's interface to a great extent, and can load and convert MPEG1/2/4, and handles most audio conversions. It contains a nice selection of filters ported from avisynth, libavcodec and transcode. It uses its own internal copies of libavcodec and other libraries so dependencies aren't too much of an issue, making for an easy install.
