Why?
Get mplayer, and compile.
This is playable with only the software codecs, no windows dlls are
involved at all. (or at least it worked with them moved out of the usual
place)
As to why I picked it - I don't know offhand the switches to make
mencoder output ogg.
I don't even own a windows box.
(well, strictly speaking, I do have a windows 98 installation on a 15GB
disk that was sort-of-working when I put it in a cupboard the best part
of a decade ago)
