OggConvert

OggConvert is a small Gnome utility that uses GStreamer to convert media files to the licence-free Theora, Dirac and Vorbis formats.

The main selling points are:

• It's painfully easy to use: drag a file onto the source bar (or use the file chooser) and hit convert. Of course, you can also change the quality settings and the output filename if you like.

• It uses GStreamer, so it can convert (almost) any file which Totem can play

• It can deal with audio-only files, video-only files, and files with many audio tracks (such as DVD rips with a commentary track).

• Thanks to the magic of GStreamer, metadata (for example, title and artist info on an MP3) is preserved

• Adheres to the Gnome HIG as much as possible
