Hi all;

I've just been thrown a curve ball. A friend is giving me a stack of DVDs to rip for him. No sweat, I thought. But he doesn't want a normal rip - he wants his vids in the Ogv container, video in the Theora codec, audio is to be vorbis. Seems he's modding a video game that can play movies, and he needs content for his new drive-in theater... Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Any way, I've found a command-line util that does just that and only that - FFMpeg2Theora. It works well enough, but it has a problem with Avisynth scripts. It does a successful encode, then crashes. no good if you want to do multiple encodes in a batch script.

My question is this: can this be done with ffmpeg, and if so, what command line would I use?

Thanks for any help.

That's exactly what I was looking for, and it doesn't crash. Thanks!

I gotta learn ffmpeg one day.
