Vorbis-dev might be better....

What I mean is, you quoted a response from Frank Barchard, but I never
saw his response on the list. Are there blind CCs on the conversation?
 I'm just trying to figure out where the rest of the conversation is.

Here (ogg-dev) is fine enough, but you answered a post by Frank Barchard which
did not reach the list - maybe it got stuck in the moderation queue,
so we're missing that part of the conversation (unless your quote of
him was all there was).

Ah, that could be it, let me go check.

My issue is with theora/thusnelda for xiph tools.

I didn't see a solution to my problem?  Last time I tried, I used this
version:
ffmpeg2theora 0.25+svn16605 - Xiph.Org libtheora 1.1 20090822 (Thusnelda)
I have a video I could post somewhere that does not compress properly with
xiph, but does with ffmpeg.

On the latest ffmpeg I saw a patch that added 422 and 444 for ogg.  But they
dont seem to work.  Does ffmpeg2theora this?
