</div>The purpose of the Ogg Video Tools is to have a number of command line tools, that could easily be used on the server side with not having a hundred cross references to other packages. A few other tools I am working on is a resizer (to match a given widthxheight format -> resizing and inserting borders, if needed), a tool to create easy thumbnails etc.</blockquote>
