If you have a multicore CPU, after the "ffmpeg" command before the -i you can 
add something like "-threads 2" which will reduce the clock time to convert at 
the cost of bogging down your system a bit more. Larger numbers are allowed but 
the bog factor goes up faster than the real time gets smaller, so rarely worth 
using more than two.
