Ubuntu Video Converter

I’m such a Linux fanboy but man do I ever love Linux.  YouTube was down for maintenance for a few hours tonight so I couldn’t upload any videos (see the Samuel Adams video below).  I needed a way to convert a .mov file to .flv and saw you can use the command line and use FFMPEG but who wants to do that?  Yeah not me so I found a great little program (open source of course) which sits on top of FFMPEG as a GUI to convert your videos to whatever format you want.  It even has the ability to compress your videos down for web use.  It took my original 8MB file down to just under 2MBs.  If you use Ubuntu, simply type “video converter” in your Add/Remove search.
