Need to convert flv files to avi or mov, trying out ffmpeg but the output quality is terrible. How can I get the video output to be on par quality with the source?

I thought ffmpeg -i name.flv -s 320x... name.avi would do it, but no good.

That's the command I was using for a ffmpeg project, the quality should be good enough. If not, try increasing the bitrate (-b argument):

ffmpeg -i input.flv -ar 22050 -b 2048k output.avi
