The version of ffmpeg2theora in Debian segfaults regularly so I used the upstream binary with a small wrapper script and these options: PAL: ffmpeg2theora-0.15.linux.bin -x 360 -y 288 -v 5 -a 3 -c 1 <FILENAME> NTSC: ffmpeg2theora-0.15.linux.bin -x 360 -y 240 -v 5 -a 3 -c 1 <FILENAME> It took around 36 hours to process all of the video and resulted in 4.6GB of ogg files. I'll need to run it again with the video quality set a notch lower to fit all of them on a single DVD. At -v 5 most text is difficult to read but the people look reasonable. For comparison, the MPEG1 versions take up 7.7GB of space. John
