title: Animated gif to avi on linux
body: <p>Is there any way to convert an animated gif to a video format (e.g. <code>.avi</code>) on Linux?</p>
  
  <p>I have already tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>ffmpeg -i thegif.gif thevideo.avi
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but all I get is the first image of the video.</p>
