.ogg theora 2 mpeg viewable on windows machines?
Alright, I am doing my senior project and am trying to make a movie of it to present. I use Instanbul to capture my desktop, then I encode the .ogg file with this:
mencoder input.ogg -o output.mpeg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lameNow this works fine on linux machines, and is completely viewable. But on a windows machine, for example my schools that use default codecs, it isn't viewable. Any solutions for help is much appreciated, I need to get this done asap.

The msmpeg4v2 codec will play natively in WMP.

So I'd just use:
mencoder input.ogg -o output.mpeg -ovc msmpeg4v2 -oac mp3lameInstead?

Do something along these lines:
mencoder input.ogg -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=800 -oac mp3lameYou'll notice that it's in an AVI container. This code will produce a movie that WMP will play. If the video quality is bad, just up the bitrate. You can do the same for the audio as well. I think that this may play in RealPlayer also, but I'm not really sure.

Yeah, no kidding. I only encode for ISO compliant MP4 files using x264. If anyone wants to see my art, I point them to VLC.

Alright thanks mate, you're a life saver. Was starting to worry I'd never finish my senior project
