To handle most any digital video format, Quicktime would be easiest to get started. - Encode your existing files into DV (using Quicktime pro). - Use gstreamer to encode into ogg files: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=grover.dv ! dvdemux ! dvdec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! oggmux ! filesink location= grover.ogg Of course you will want to alter settings to change the file size, rate, etc. You would make these changes in the gstreamer pipeline or in quicktime as a pre-processing step.
