Thanks! I was totally unaware of there being a conflict when I answered. I simply tossed out what I had used in the rare case that I have to mess with an audio conversion(about twice in my life). I did a search to find out what you were talking about and came up with this which I found interesting.

Also interesting is that a search on CPAN for avconv turns up FFmpeg::Command.

Another example of how hanging out here informs one of more than Perl, whether by design or otherwise. Thanks for pointing out avconv....

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
