ok, i will make a chapter on ffmpeg2theora on linux...

other possibilities:
* editing theora via command line (cat etc)
* document linphone support of theora for video conferencing...
* puredata theora support via pdp
* JRoar ogg streaming server set up
(http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/index.html)
* vlc transcoding to theora
* patching icecast to create theora thumbnails of live streams
* using v2v (http://www.v2v.cc)
* using RecordMyDesktop for screencasts in theora


must be a ton of other possibilities
