Excuse for typo - 'ffmpeg' is right.
Both these packages are in rpmfusion repository.

The program you want, oddly enough, is named convert.  It's part of the 
ImageMagic package.  As it happens, I just used it today to change some 
Microsoft icon files (.ico) into .png because Xfce doesn't recognize 
that format for icons.

Soundconverter works great for me. Or mencoder...

FYI, Miro was in rpmfusion repos.  However, as of F19 it is no longer maintained.

many thanks for replies.

i install asfbin, which worked to convert to mp3 and mp4 files.

now it seems that i need more to view file. error message is;

the playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF)
demuxer plugin which is not installed.

but not a real problem.

i uploaded video to photobucket.com account, so now others may view;

Yup... I looked at packaging it but they bundle several libraries and were
not real interested in un-bundling them so I volunteered to setup a
repository instead, it's linked on the main winff page. I just uploaded
1.5.2 for F17->Rawhide the other day.

A very convenient command called sox does the trick for me
