🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

theoraenc [OPTION...]<VIDEOFILE>

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. options go in, video file goes in, magic comes out ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so fr fr: theoraenc is a simple and minimalist Ogg Theora encoder. lowkey her whole personality is "simple" and "minimalist" and honestly?? iconic. she ate and left no crumbs 🍓

there's a complet user manuel available on the website of ogmrip, and yes we are linking it because bestie you WILL want to read it:

http://ogmrip.sourceforge.net/en/manual.html

go read it. i'll wait. 🫶

⭐ SH OPTIONS ⭐

the way these are the options and they are giving main character energy... let's go one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here 💖

  • -h, --help — show help options. when in doubt, ask her for help. she will tell you. that's the whole point 🎀
  • -o, --output=<filename> — use filename for output. and the default?? bestie the default is stdout 😭 so if you don't say anything she just. yells it into the void. which is valid honestly.
  • -b, --bitrate=<bitrate> — bitrate target for Theora video. that's the number you're aiming for, periodt.
  • -q, --quality=<quality> — Theora quality selector from 0 to 10. and here's the tea: 0 yields smallest files but lowest video quality, while 10 yields highest fidelity but large files. so it's giving "pick your fighter" — tiny files or big gorgeous files, you cannot have both, that's the deal 💅
  • -a, --aspect=<aspect> — set the aspect ratio of the input file. because she needs to know your proportions before she does her thing 🦋
  • -f, --framerate=<rate> — set the framerate of the input file. the rate. the frames. per second. you know the vibe ⭐
