How to convert .flv files to .mpg

I downloaded some YouTube videos which were in .flv format.
My Laptop was able to play .flv files but my DVD player couldn't understand that format.

Hence i started checking how to convert .flv files into .mpg. There are many softwares available for the same purpose but the best and easiest way is to use FFmpeg
Below are the steps to do the same on an Ubuntu machine.
# To install ffmpeg
But the above command failed for some flv files with the below error

 After reading the man pages, i tried the below command and it worked. It will try to auto detect the frame rate and use that for conversion.
