I want to convert it into MPEG2 as video and mp3 as audio, but i have failed both with FFMPEG and with MEncoder. I have also tried to compile ffmpeg from source, but I do not know which codec I need and I don't want to compile all the codecs from scratch. I report here the command line I used for FFMPEG and the MediaInfo information for the video file. In the latter I had to remove a part due to forum policy against new users posting links. The part I have removed is substituted with
"[REMOVED DUE TO FORUM POLICY ABOUT CANNOT POSTING LINKS]".
The FFMPEG console output is in the next post due to forum policy that set a maximum number of characters allowed per post. It is also truncated for the same reason, because also alone in a post would trepass the limit. So it is not the complete output.
I have also uploaded the video on the web, I can give you a link in some way you told me.
FFMPEG command line

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaCoder\codecs\ffmpeg.exe" -i "Love Thy Brother.m4v" -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec libmp3lame output.avi > conversion.log 2>&1
