theora dev - Dec 2006 - FFmpeg's libavcoded

Hi,
I am letting myself known incase someone is interested in this or
already has ideas on the subject.

I would like to add Theora encoding to ffmpeg's libavcodec library.
My goal is to add vorbis / theora / ogm output to Handbrake.  Doing
this at the libavcodec level appears to make the most sense as it
would benefit more people.

I have already made a small start.  I have the configure & build
scripts for ffmpeg using the correct libraries etc.  I am now simply
browsing through the various API docs (for both libavcodec and
libtheora) to attempt my wiring.

Any tips, suggestions, or sources of documentation would be welcome. :)

thanks,

Just checking: you are aware of ffmpeg2theora?

Paul,

It is already there in libavcodec:

:~/ffmpeg/libavcodec$ grep -r -i theora *

returns lots of stuff, mostly in vp3.c.  VP3 was the predecessor to theora.

Vorbis is there as well.
