Ubuntu 9.04 x64.  I actually just found the answer to my question.  The
video looks pretty bad, but I think I can increase the bitrate to make it
look better.  Here was my final try:

ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/GAIN.wmv -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -b 1000k -bt 175k -acodec
libmp3lame -ar 44100 GAIN-1000k.avi

I had to remove the -vtag option because the video turned out to be pink on
WMP.  I had to add the -ar 44100 because ffmpeg was complaining about
audio.  I didn't know about the -ar, had to ask #ffmpeg.  They're tired of
me by now!
