here is part of script was used:

mplayer mf://../input/png/*.png -mf w=2048:h=872:fps=24:type=png -sws 9
-vf expand=2048:1080,crop=1920:1080 -vo png:z=3
cd ..
ffmpeg2theora --keyint 24 --framerate 24 -v 8 tmp/%08d.png --title
"$title" --artist "$author" --copyright "$copyright" --license
"$license" -o output/ogg/tmp-1080.ogv

rm tmp/*.png
rm output/ogg/tmp*.*
echo "Ogg versions encoded"
