mencoder bobby.ogg -o res_bobby.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts
abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=flv:vbitrate=9600:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -lavfopts

Mediacoder

... but do we really want to do this? There is also SUPER the same way.
Both use ffmpeg. Only mention Mediacoder becaus it i what you get if you

Of course, you could direct Windows users to install DirectShow filters
for ogg/theora and stream that.
