    How to convert video file in Theora : best practices

    Hi,

    I have a video file in the .flv format, which I would like to convert in the Theora (.ogv) format (I prefer free open source format ).

    For that I type this command in the terminal :

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i myfile.flv myfile.ogv
    The video and audio streams are correctly identified, but the convertion takes a very long time and the resulting file in Theora is very heavy. Moreover, when I play it, the audio quality is okay (I don't notice any difference with the original) but the video quality is terrible .

    I would like to know if I may get better results by using additonal options to the in the ffmpeg command and what are the recommended best pratices in this kind of work.

    Thanks in advance
