I mentioned it in the #theora channel a few days ago but here it is with 
a more permanent url:

http://www.firefogg.org/make/advanced.html
&
http://www.firefogg.org/make/

These will be simple links you can send people so that they can encode 
source footage to a local ogg video file with the latest and greatest 
ogg encoders (presently thusnelda and vorbis). Updates to thusnelda and 
possible other free codecs will be pushed out via firefogg updates ;)

Pass along any feedback if things break or what not.

I am also doing testing with "embed" these encoder interface. For those 
familiar with jQuery: an example to rewrite all your file inputs with 
firefogg enhanced inputs:  $("input:[type='file']").firefogg()  ... Feel 
free to expeirment based on those examples. The form rewrite has mostly 
only been tested in the mediaWiki context: 
http://sandbox.kaltura.com/testwiki/index.php/Special:Upload
but with minor hacking should work elsewhere :)

enjoy
