theora - Feb 2010 - Batch Encoding in ffmpeg2theora

I've been doing some OGG Theora encoding with ffmpeg2theora and I can't
seem to find a good explanation on
how to batch encode with ffmpeg2theora. What do I need to type into the terminal
to get ffmpeg2theora to take
multiple input files and export multiple OGVs with the same settings? All of my
attempts sofar have resulted in
multiple files being converted into one OGV file :(

Apologies if this is a simple answer and any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Toby

Depends on your shell. With common sh-based shells you can say something like:

for file in *.avi; do ffmpeg2theora $file; done

That will invoke ffmpeg2theora separately for each file in the list
*.avi expands to.

Hope that helps,
