I've always had better luck with mencoder and tovid then ffmeg
The mencoder guide I always used was on the gentoo wiki - but when I
went to get you a link I see it's gone - they lost the database?
That's a real shame - there was lots of good stuff on the gentoo
wiki.... Mencoder isn't any more straightforward than ffmeg - I just
found those examples first and they usually worked.
tovid at http://tovid.sourceforge.net is more limited - but much more
straightforward. If it does what you need, it's a great way to go.
HTH at least a little
