M-encoder: An encoding software from the makers of mplayer.
REad the man page of mencoder. If you can read it (Its hugeeee) then you can convert any audio/video in any format that mplayer supports. Or better search google if you can find any shortcut commands. 
You need to install it seperately, it doesnt come with mplayer.
