Hi Antonio,
here's what I use:

mencoder $1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vpass=1 -oac pcm -o $1_pd.avi
ffmpeg -i $1_pd.avi -ar 44100 $1_pd.wav

(the second line extracts the audio in the video into a separate wav file)
I put it in a script and run it with the input filename, like:
video4pd.sh ./mysegfaultmovie.mov

gr,
Tim
