[FFmpeg-user] Convert flv to tivo supported format

[Dion Stempfley]

That is great thanks.  I hadn't used qscale before but after you sent this I found an interesting related article at http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/2007/05/24/ffmpeg-quality-comparison/.

I've tried Mpeg-2, avi, and mov and regardless of the options I choose I can't seem to get the same quality out of the converted file.  Here are the results of my last try.  I also don't understand the Error while decoding stream message at the end.  The output seems to have all of the file in it.
