Hi, I held an introduction to Creative Commons last week. The Theora-encoded video (and slides) are available at www.romal.de . I had some serious problems encoding to theora. Is there a canonical way to convert mov and/or wmv to Theora ? I fiddled around whith ffmpeg2theora, but always got some out-of-sync-problems with audio and video. cu romal

From what I heard, the encoder is buggy. Give a try to VLC's encoder and see if that works better. On VLC, click Open File, Stream to File, choose "theo" and "vorb". -Ivo
I've used VLC's transcoding wizard, but come across some videos that just give null output. There is another solution to this, but it only runs on Windows at the moment. The super transcoder (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) is able to convert just about any media format to another format. Hope this helps. On Mon, 29 Jan 2007 04:44:21 +1000, Robert M.

Hi. Thanks for pointing that out and yes, those tools are available for other operating systems aswell and using the command line tools opens up a lot more options. I usually recommend this program the most to others since over 3 out of 4 people are still afraid of the command line and have found this to be the most comprehensive set of codecs even though there are better tools out there.> On 1/30/07, S.
