(That version is a bit old.)

You only have a single animated gif? Ah, you didn't say so. You always
have to be very specific on what you have and what you are trying to
achieve. Multimedia processing is a wide and complex field, and there
are so many things you could be meaning.

To convert an animated git, it's probably sufficient to do
$ ffmpeg -i yeay.gif outyeay.mp4

You do need to read some introductions on ffmpeg. :-)

(And you need to stop working as root.)

Cheers,
