My experiences converting video to Theora (OGV) on Windows Vista
OK SUPER (software) works at conversion, but lacks the configuration of ffmpeg2theora.
OK ffmpeg2theora works with output from "gifsicle --explode". All PNGs must have 100% same size and same palette, otherwise ffmpeg2theora version 0.25 for Windows crashes or miscolours output with the command "ffmpeg2theora-0.25.exe frame_%04d.png -o out.ogv".
Not OK My VirtualDub 1.93 with ffdshow does not include a Theora output, despite claims by Wikipedia's Theora
Not OK VLC version 1.0.1 Goldeneye crashes when converting from AVI to Theora
Not OK MPC crashes on test videos created by ffmpeg2theora version 0.25
Not OK VirtualDubMod from VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_b2542.zip crashes because it needs corona.dll ([1] suggests downloading mising files from [2] which is now stale; archive.org does not have the dlls)
Not OK en:HandBrake fails complaining about no title found, when given a valid AVI. It appears to work only for videos produced for DVD and not for home made AVI movies nor any other kind of input. Also, it crashes with certain UI input.

[edit] VLC Goldeneye results
Because my previous experience with VLC media player encoding to Theora OGG was disappointing, I retested version 1.0.1 Goldeneye. After testing 1.0.1 I may upgrade to, and test, 1.0.3.
See User:84user/Video tests for results. How these videos were made is explained in section Calibration test videos.
