+You can try using <a href="http://oggasm.sf.net/">oggasm</a> to convert mp3 to ogg vorbis. 
+You can also try <a href="http://www.hut.fi/~tajyrink/proj_info.html#convvorbis">

+One can also try <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/">oggenc</a> which is

+To rip audio on CD to ogg files, you can first rip it to wav files using 
+<a href="http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/">CD Paranoia</a> and then use oggenc
+to convert wav to ogg. <a href="http://korbis.sourceforge.net/korbis.html">
+Korbis</a> provides a KDE based frontend to this.
+<br><br>
+Note: Converting files from mp3 to ogg is not recommended. This is becase,
+both mp3 and ogg vorbis are lossy formats and changing from one lossy format
+to other will result in degradation in quality.

+A easy way to convert a video to theora (ogg) format is to use 
+<a href="http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/">ffmpeg2theora</a>.
+Just <a href="http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/download.html">download</a>
+the binary and run
+<br>
+<table class="command">
+<tr><td>
+ffmpeg2theora videoclip.avi
+</td></tr>
+<table>
+This will create videoclip.avi.ogg. To explore see some more
+<a href="http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/examples.html"> examples</a>. 
+You can also try a KDE fontend 
+(<a href="http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17831">Katiuska</a>)
+for same.
+<br><br>
+You can also use mplayer/encoder_example to encode your videos. 
+Firstly, using mencoder you will need to extract from your video file
+raw video and audio stream. Then you can use encoder_example (supplied
+with theora package) to make a ogg video.
+<table class="command">
+<tr><td>
+mkfifo stream.wav
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>
+mkfifo stream.yuv
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>
+mplayer -quiet -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vo null -vc null inputvideo.avi
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>
+mplayer -quiet -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null -ac null -nosound inputvideo.avi
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>
+encoder_example -v 3 -a 2 stream.wav stream.yuv &gt; outfile.ogg
+</td></tr>
+<table>
+You can <a href="http://www.hut.fi/~tajyrink/proj_info.html">
+download a script</a> that does all this.
