MP3 to OGG
----------

Note: I am really not sure how good this method is (I didn't even listen to the
file):

Check the file format::

  ffmpeg -i beethoven-2-1-1-pfaul.mp3

Convert the file::

  ffmpeg -i beethoven-2-1-1-pfaul.mp3 -acodec vorbis -ab 192k beethoven-2-1-1-pfaul.ogg

WAV to MP3
----------

::

  avconv -i talk-2014-02-02.wav talk-2014-02-02.mp3

Video
=====

Just download Transmageddon from the software centre!!
