FFmpeg and Video Conversion in Ubuntu

The other night my wife asked me to help her get a flash video for her and convert it to a usable format for a class presentation. I tried various different methods of converting the video, including FFmpeg, but to no avail. Then I discovered that my version of FFmpeg was actually limited. Apparently there are legal issues involved and the Ubuntu repositories offer a copy of the program lacking certain conversion abilities.

Click here for possible solutions. I didn't bother compiling my own copy. I just used sudo in the terminal to get the unstripped version.
