A few days ago I downloaded a video file (.flv) from a website. I wanted to convert the video from .flv to .avi (I know it’s not a free format, but I needed to). I searched over the Internet and found out about FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a command line tool used to convert multimedia files between formats. Not only it converts video files but it also converts audio files.

I routinely use FFmpeg to rip the sound tracks from YouTube or my own singing from SingSnap (it’s presented through an FLV there as well).
I can spit it out as an MP3 to cram into my little AUD$10 player (ex-Hardly Normal, but KMart have better ones for AUD$13), as an Ogg to play on this laptop, or as a WAV or FLAC if I wish to do surgery on it (hello Audacity).
