Ok, but your answer does not help me to generate usable video file.

I was asking what output format and/or ffmpeg options should I use to transcode
a MPEG file containing a MPEG2 video stream and an AC3 audio stream to a video
file (avi, mpg, mov, ... ???) containing a h264 video stream and a ac3/aac
audion stream?

I tried:

ffmpeg -i sample_w_ac3.mpg -vcodec h264 -acodec copy -sameq -hq out.avi

which leads to asynchronous output, so does:

ffmpeg -i sample_w_ac3.mpg -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -sameq -hq out.avi

Thanks,    Thomas
