Hi, how can I enable a plugin from the command line? I know how to *activate* it from dbus, i.e. do the equivalent of pressing "Ctrl-F9" or whatever the hotkey is.

Hi! I tried two theora experiments lately... One encoding a Quicktime MOV file using ffmpeg2theora and one using Thoggen. Both times I had a very jumpy result... The thoggen-encoded DVD would 'jump' every half second or so, as if there was a slight, perhaps 20ms pause. Audio would remain synced though. The quicktime file would jump even more, being reduced to looking like a crisp 2fps
