Hi,

at the time i wrote ffmpeg2theora, ffmpeg did not support theora. by now
they have support for theora but last time i checked the ogg muxer was
not in a good state, it outputs one packet per page which is rather
unefficient. also the vorbis encoder is limited to stereo mode.

so ffmpeg2theora exists and mostly just works, getting ffmpeg to output
a theora / vorbis ogg file is still not straight forward.
