I just found the reason why ffmpeg didn't work for me. I was using the buggy version that came with ubuntu. After downloading the source from the ffmpeg site and compiling it, the problems went away!
Although I still need to learn the hundreds of options and commands under ffmpeg, at least I can do simple conversions now, and the defaults work fine. The url that the two Danny's gave were also very informative... Thanks, I did try openshot too, but somehow, it crashes on my system. (a netbook... haha).
