mencoder -idx input.ogv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output.avi
This code has helped out immensely, but I have a few questions.

Can I convert to mpg instead? What would I have to change in this line besides the file extension?

Also, could someone help me convert this into a bash script? I know some basic bash scripting, but I've not worked with script parameters before.

Check out the section on '-lavcopts' in the manpage

What do you need to know? Most bash tutorials probably show you how to use script parameters.
