Im having a hard time converting video for rockbox on linux. I'm currently using VLC to convert to mpeg (at least i think, there are so many variations of mpeg listed). Converted videos never seem to play though.

What is the proper process to convert video for the plugin, on either Linux or Windows?

PS - Why isnt Ogg THEORA supported while Ogg Vorbis is?

Because vorbis is an audio codec, not a video one, which is what Theora is.

There's nothing stopping anyone starting work on implementing Theora for PluginMpeg if they want.

I usually use the batch file on the Wiki (for VLC).  It has worked fine for the files I have transcoded.

Vortex:
Unfortunately MpegPlayer does not play the files I converted with mencoder properly (I used the command line from the wiki). When I play one of those files, after a while the video suddenly skips several seconds ahead, then drops down to ~4fps until the audio has caught up. It then continues to play smoothly for a few seconds and then the same thing happens again.

I'm currently using wine to run WinFF and use that for converting. It works, but I'm not happy with it.

Llorean:
WinFF just uses FFMpeg, and can be compiled for linux anyway. Why exactly are you using Wine with it?
