ffmpeg Install ffmpeg

can do this easily from command line

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mpeg

There are felt one million additional options to change the output format.

ffmpeg has since been deprecated. Use avconv instead. Same invocation:

avconv -i input.mp4 output.mpeg

    Not true anymore, ffmpeg is still the way to go now.

Take a look at this answer: How can I maximum compress video files? Which may be helpful for understanding the transcoding process.

There are several GUI's that are able to perform this task, which includes but not limits to:

Mobile Media Converter

enter image description here

WinFF

And many more.

My favorite is the Mobile Media Converter but I have used the WinFF, Transmaggedon, Arista Transcoder, and many more in the past with excellent results.

Good luck!

ffmpeg's .mpeg conversion gives you MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio.

ffmpeg doesn't have a layer 1 encoder.
