[MPlayer-users] Using mplayer/mencoder/ogmtools to make an ogm

[Vladimir Niksic]

I have a question about the video bitrate used in movies. If I 
decompress the AC3 sound with mplayer to pcm, and then encode it to ogg, 
I have a problem with setting the video bitrate. If I use similar 
bitrates with ogg and mp3, and then use the video recommendation bitrate 
that I got from the first pass, and use ogmmerge to dump the mp3 and put 
the ogg audio file in it's place, it is always screwed up. Either I get 
705+ mb movie, or 680-. Is there a calculator around, so I can calculate 
the video bitrate that is optimal?
