+Ffmpeg2theora is not a part of ''ffmpeg'', but an independent frontend for converting any format that ffmpeg can read into the free **Ogg Vorbis** audio and **Ogg Theora** video codecs.

+<WRAP tip>
+For some video (especially high-res video meant to be dynamically scaled on any variety of device with any variety of screen size), consider trying, directly through ffmpeg, the ''webm'' and ''xvid'' formats, which are also free and open source like Theora.

 The command structure is similar, so if you've used ffmpeg or mencoder to
 transcode media then it will all feel very familiar:
+<code>
 $ ffmpeg2theora input_file.avi -x 1920 -y
 -V 21000kbps -A 320kbps -c 2 -H 44100 -o output.ogv
+</code>
+Which breaks down to:
-In other words:
+<code>
+$ ffmpeg2theora [input filename] \
+-x [target horizontal pixel count] \
+-y [target vertical pixel count] \
+-V [target bitrate in kbps] \
+-A [audio bit rate] -c [audio channels] \
+-H [audio sample rate in Hz] \
+-o [output filename]
+</code>
-  $ ffmpeg2theora [input filename] -x
+Ffmpeg2theora is available from [[http://slackbuilds.org]] and requires no special compile
