I had some shows on tivo that I figured I wanted to keep on a CD in case I might ever want to watch them again. (Not that you care, butthis really is for my own personal use. I wouldn't have the bandwidth to "share" this stuff even if I wanted to.) So I downloaded a 1 hour show with TiVo ToGo, and I jumped through a few hoops to "free the mpeg", and I got a nice 2 GB

After a bunch of cumbersome testing I was able to transcode a Quicktime MOV file to OGG with theora and Vorbis. The method's a bit fumbly, but it works... It is automatable except for the initial audio decoding. Software used: Xine, oggenc, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, oggzmerge Step 1: Get the video out of Quicktime ffmpeg -i infile.mov -b 5000 -f mpeg2video outfile.mpg Step 2: Get the video

Hello, ffmpeg2theora (with encoder mmx patches) is available on konvalo.org. You can run it on Linux (2.6.x), FreeBSD (5.x) and NetBSD (2.x) on Intel x86. ffmpeg2theora may be considered the recommended Theora encoder. The author of the program is Jan Gerber @ v2v.cc Those of you who already use Konvalo.org do not need to do anything, the program is in your PATH. Otherwise see

Hi, I decided to try Theora and encoded a PAL DVD. I was very pleased with the result. It's better than "DiVX" for the same bitrate, I think, and the audio is clearly superior to MP3 audio. However, I'm having serious troubles encoding NTSC DVDs and getting the video and audio durations to match. I read some messages on this list about such problems and so what I am doing

Hello, I'm new to the list, so if this is an FAQ, please point me to the relevant docs. I'm playing with Theora, to see what kind of quality I can expect (I realise its not for production use yet). I've download the source from CVS, and got it to build, with the example encoder and player. While trying to find something to serve as a good source of input, I decided I'd use a
