Carl, thanx, yes - that did the trick. Am I right to interpret it that atm
out of the box vorbis from svn is kaputt?

As for the value of venc->quality - what does that relate to? I can specify
abitrate but it is apparently ignored. I picked your 30 and it sounds good
to me. I haven't really calculated the effective bitrate (webm HD encoding
is a bit slow) and there is nothing in the container which would give me an
inherent clue. Does the 30 have any particular meaning? (vs. the 0.03 I had
in my code)?

I can upload something a bit later (tell me again where - do you want HD, SD
?). I have been playing with a number of the VP8 specific encoding
parameters and the clearly do something albeit I am not sure what. vbitrate
is acknowledged but also qmin and qmax although the max value according to
the book of 63 is not accepted - anything above 51 is rejected but I seem to
recall they same being true for ivfenc.

I think the quality rivals h.264. I have seen the various comparisons of
stills but I don't believe that tells the whole story. I think it'll be a
player in the long run ...
