6) Now it's all done .. Now you can do your convertions via terminal codes.. I have mentioned them in a another post.. they are same for this distribution too..  If you are not ok with the terminal enter following code in terminal. It's a user friendly GUI for FFmpeg... Try it..

sudo apt-get install winff
