Theora file downloader

An easy way to get raw video and audio files is to use MPlayer as an export utility. The options " -ao pcm -vo yuv4mpeg " will export a wav file named audiodump.

Be careful when exporting video alone; MPlayer may drop frames to 'keep up' with the audio timer. The example encoder can't properly synchronize input audio and video file that aren't in sync to begin with. The encoder will also take video or audio on stdin if '-' is specified as the input file name. There is also a 'png2theora' example which accepts a set of image files in that format. The sample player takes an Ogg file on standard in; the file may be audio alone, video alone or video with audio.
