Hi Jane,
you shouldn't use ffmpeg for theora encoding. FFmpeg's theora support
is pretty bad. This is why the theora project has their own transcoder,
'ffmpeg2theora', which uses the ffmpeg library for decoding, but
performs much better on the encoding side.
If you still want to go with ffmpeg, I spotted a few problems with your
command:
- you have to tell it to use the 'libvorbis' encoder for audio, else it
will use some very low quality internal vorbis encoder
- you should give it a target video bitrate via '-v'
- you shuld use 44100 sample rate for audio, everything else might
produce bad artefacts on decoding
something like:
ffmpeg -i 1.mpeg -ar 44100 -vb 300k -acodec libvorbis test.ogv
but i really won't recommend it.
David
