Convert VOB to AVI using ffmpeg

Suppose you have a myVideo.vob and you want to convert to avi format.
Open a terminal and execute the following command

$ ffmpeg -i myVideo.vob myvideo.avi

Possible errors:
1 "ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avcodec_channel_layout_num_channels"
Solution:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ && ffmpeg -i myVideo.vob myvideo.avi

If this doesnt solve the problem then retry that after installing the libavcodec52 and libavutil49 packages:
$ sudo apt-get install libavcodec52  libavutil49

For some body else who read this I made an ffmpeg entry on my blog: http://pookito.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/ffmpeg-and-linux/

It is pretty much the same but I like to use free and open source videos like theora/vorbis
