You should probably avoid creating Ogg/Theora files with ffmpeg if you
can.  FFmpeg2theora would be the preferred alternative.   I believe
the current ffmpeg doesn't have the muxer problems that cause that
message, but fixes/improvements to theora related support in ffmpeg
proper tend to be slow in coming.
