Firefox 3.5 is Super Awesome!
Firefox 3.5 now supports native playing of ogg theora video files. This means you don't need to install any plugins to view them. Just click and enjoy! I knew there was a reason I was still encoding my videos to ogg (besides the fact that it is a free codec). You can try it for yourself right now if you are already running Firefox 3.5. Just click on "episodes" above and then click on any of my videos where it says "Theora". I am so excited I am going to change the picture above my motto on the home page to this one ...

ogg conversion
hi,
I produce videos using free software in Brazil and I saw you presentation in FISL 10. How do you convert the videos to Ogg Theora? With cinelerra or ffmpeg2theora? Can you post here the specification of the bitrate quality that you use?
thanks,

Wille,
You should watch my 4th Cinelerra tutorial in "Episode 3" to learn how I handle rendering and transcoding. Basically, I do a high quality master render from Cinelerra and then use FFmpeg to transcode the show into ogg/theora and other formats. You can get the commands I use to do this here ... http://www.thesourceshow.org/node/91. If you attended my talk you may remember that Ogg Thunar project is making some nice improvements to Ogg so I may check that out soon and see if I can use their encoder instead of ffmpeg2theora.
