Besides the usual suspects, you could just use gst-launch (part of the 
GStreamer tools) and run the same or a similar pipeline as thoggen itself 
does, ie. something like:

gst-launch-0.8 { oggmux name=mux ! filesink name=filesink  {  dvdreadsrc 
device=/dev/dvd title=0 ! dvddemux  name=demux .audio_00  ! { queue ! 
a52dec ! audioconvert ! audioscale ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! 
audioconvert ! rawvorbisenc ! queue ! mux. } { demux.video_01 ! queue ! 
mpeg2dec ! videorate ! video/x-raw-yuv,framerate=\(double\)25.0 ! videocrop 
left=4 right=4 top=32 bottom=32 ! deinterlace ! videoscale ! 
video/x-raw-yuv,width=384,height=288 ! theoraenc ! queue ! mux. } } }

;-)

The other tools might be a bit easier to use though (also, thoggen uses a 
custom element for scaling, so you either get worse quality or lower speed 
with the above pipeline, in comparison to using thoggen directly).
