For best quality you'd be better off converting to an uncompressed
format, rather than recompressing them. cinelerra will only uncompress
them again to edit them - to YUV I believe, so that would be the best
target. You got lotsa disk space, yes? :)

What's in ffmpeg.cfg?

I would guess this is your main clue
Can you do some tests to narrow it down to whether it is all ogg
theora decoding, ogg theora decoding of those specific videos, or mpeg
encoding that is not working for you? e.g.
- Can you play the videos successfully with some other player?
- If so, can you transcode them to other fomats, and can you transcode
other ogg theora files to mpeg?
- Can you encode other video sources to mpeg successfully with your
ffmpeg.cfg settings?
More strategic ideas:
Do you have the most recent stable version of transcode?
Can you decode the ogg into something uncompressed using another tool,
like the example decoders supplied by xiph.org, then use that?
That's where I would start...
