converting multiple flv to avi..

guys how could I automate the process of converting severals flv files to avi, without having to enter it manually in the shell....

I'm using ffmpeg... I could use something like:

Code:

ffmpeg -i *.flv out.avi

but that would convert all the flv's to one big avi, and I would like to create separate avi's

Try a script like this:

Code:

for if in *.flv
do
  of=`basename $if .flv`
  ffmpeg -i $if  ${of}.avi
done
