    ffmpeg -i /media/storage/desktop\ vids/Compiz.avi -newaudio /media/storage/mysharedfolder/metallica-unknown-orion.mp3 /media/storage/desktop\ vids/Compiz3.mpeg

    "At least one output file must be specified" ??? Converted just fine to the mpeg without the "-newaudio" switch.
    Use quotes instead of the back-slashes you used for escaping the spaces in file names. Also put the -newaudio option and its argument after the output file name. Example:
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i "/media/storage/desktop vids/Compiz.avi"  "/media/storage/desktop vids/Compiz3.mpeg" -newaudio "/media/storage/mysharedfolder/metallica-unknown-orion.mp3"
    From the ffmpeg man pages:
    The "-newvideo", "-newaudio" and "-newsubtitle" options have to be specified
    immediately after the name of the output file to which you want to add them.

    From my reading, I haven't seen any examples of ffmpeg taking an argument with -newaudio. Don't know off-hand how you would tell it what file to use since I never used that argument before. Perhaps you need to use another -i inputfilename argument before the -newaudio. One thing I know is that I had to do a lot of experimenting to get it to do what I wanted, but always found that it was possible. A lot of the GUI audio/video tools use ffmpeg under the covers to do the heavy lifting.

    There is also a user q&a forum on the web site for ffmpeg. Go to: https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
