			::You should use the newest beta of libtheora, not the old alpha versions. If after that you continue to experience the out-of-sync problems you should open a ticket in [https://trac.xiph.org our trac] against ffmpeg2theora (we host the project).--[[User:Saoshyant\|Ivo]] 20:38, 1 November 2007 (PDT)

			: The player is not relevant. Broken a/v sync [[ffmpeg2theora]]-produced [[Theora]] files are equally broken in MPlayer, Xine and VLC. And working [[ffmpeg2theora]]-produced files work equally well in all these players. My [http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=ffmpeg2theora+sound+out+of+sync search for information] indicates that experiences described as ''"There is a command line tool called ffmpeg2theora, that does a pretty nice job, if it weren't for the fact that the audio and video don't sync."'' ([http://www.parrishtech.com/content/view/16/1/ HOWTO: Rip DVDs to Theora on Linux]) are more common than not. This does not mean that the page I edited should mention this, only that ''there really are a/v sync problems'' and that this issue must be fixed for [[Theora]] to gain any usage-share ("I tried this Theora thing, didn't work, screw you, back to format X which worksforme" is a more likely reaction than "There seems to be a problem with a/v sync, what is the cause of this problem and how do we fix it?").

			: I will now upgrade from libtheora 1.0_alpha6 to 1.0_alpha7, update ffmpeg and recompile ffmpeg2theora 0.19 just in case and encode various files who turned out broken again just to narrow down if this is a already-fixed-issue (and broken combinations / versions can be listed for reference if this is the case) and make source / result files available and post them to the mailing list for reference if latest ("masked") versions of these packages also fail to produce usable files.

			: I also have a hope that perhaps files who end up broken could turn out alright if I encode them to another format mencoder and then re-encode them to Theora (which isn't a solution to anything, but atleast it will get Theora files out there and help those poor people in countries with software patentability).

New page

== Theora Encoders ==

Mate, I do not know what player you are using, but I've never seen those problems you mentioned. I have thus reverted your edits. Yes, including the GNU one, although for a different reason.

If you believe it only happens with specific files, you may wish to post some example files in the Theora mailing list. I think however that you are using a bad player.

I would like to compliment you, however, on your decision to allow only Theora files in the torrents site linked in your user page.--[[User:Saoshyant|Ivo]] 18:30, 30 October 2007 (PDT)
