Converting .ogg video file to .avi?

[fosterinlaw]

I've successfully converted a home DVD (multiple .VOB files) to one .OGG file using the Thoggen DVD Ripper; all I need now is something to convert the .OGG file into something that Kino video editor can work with (.AVI). I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 LTS: the Dapper Drake Release. Any help would be great.

Avi and ogg are container formats.


Conversion with the ffmpeg (from .ogg/theora to .avi/xvid):

ffmpeg -i "/media/sda6/tmp_therora/Temp.ogg" -vcodec xvid "/media/sda6/tmp_therora/Temp.avi"

Re: Converting .ogg video file to .avi?

Thanks for all of the Information on the topic. Unfortunately I have tried a number things suggested and each one has had it's own difficulties.

First off, I used Rog's code (ffmpeg -i "/media/sda6/tmp_therora/Temp.ogg" -vcodec xvid "/media/sda6/tmp_therora/Temp.avi") and for some reason It kept telling me that xvid was an unknown codec. I looked in Adept and I have all the xvid that are available to me downloaded already. Tried again with the same results.

Then I used a code that I found in one of Rog's links (How do I convert .ogg to .avi). That code was: ffmpeg -i inputmovie.ogg -target ntsc-dv output.dv. This was at first successfull and converted the whole hour-long file. Later I noticed that the audio was about fifty frames sooner than the video, though. I can, with Kino Video Editor, strip the audio and save it as a separate file, then "mix" the video in with a fifty frame delay, and even view it in Keno--confirming that the audio is in sync with the video. The problem comes when I try to export it. I've tried many different formats and settings but every exported file doesn't have the sound synced up like It is when viewed in Kino.

Maybe another possibility? Easy Linux Encoding (FFMPEG)

This is how I setup my kubuntu for Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to all my conversion work very well it's a matter of having the right packages installed.
