Kindly note that FF mpeg comes pre-installed on many Linux distributions and can be easily setup if not. FFmpeg can convert between almost any video formats you wish.

• Open your Linux Terminal emulator. Access to this differs depending on your Linux distribution, so check your distribution's documentation if you are unsure.
• Type "ffmpeg -i /Downloads/file.dvr-ms -vcodec copy -acodec copy Desktop/newfile.xyz" (without quotation marks).
• Replace "Downloads/file" with the location and file name of your DVR-MS file you need to convert.
• Replace "Desktop/newfile" with the designated location and file name of your converted file. Replace "XYZ" with the file format that you want to convert your video to.
• Press "Enter" to begin the conversion. DVR-MS are high-quality video files; therefore, depending on the video length and your system specifications, the conversion could several hours to perform.
