It isn't erroring, but it isn't converting either.
Why not use the mp4 formatted version they provide? The quality
will be much higher (or *should* be anyway).
according to the site, the ogg is the high quality. except for one maybe.
don't really care any more :)
Uhm, ogg, very likely theora video + vorbis audio; until import modules
are rewritten (I'm working on this on those days, code will land in HEAD
during this month), the most viable alternative is import_mplayer,
import_ffmpeg being a second alternative that needs a few more work.
-x mplayer,mplayer will work fine, assuming you also specify
geometry, aspect ratio, and framerate info from the first
script on this page:

transcode v1.0.2 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg
Please update at very least to 1.0.6rc2, much better to 1.1.0beta0.
For god's sake, yes, do upgrade (I would say to 1.06rc2)!
yeah, for the v4l2 stuff I was building head - for this I figured it would just
work.
You also might want to check out avidemux, unless you really
know that cinelerra is the right tool for what you want to do.
I have been playing with cin for the last few weeks. it has its quirks, but so
far it seems to be working out. I have been able to distill a crap load of
footage into 2 60 minute final products.
I'm not suggesting that the crap programs available for Windows and Mac
are worth 2 cents, but Linux video software is in a pretty messy state
overall. Still no decent editor, and no decent subtitling program.
Transcode can make dvd's that totally blow away even the best commercial
dvd's, by the way... But I don't know why. Unless all the "pros" are
total idiots.
In what way is the tc produced dvd better?
