Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram) asked me if I could write a short procedure to create an ogg theora video using ffmpeg2theora (http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/)

Please note there are many ways to create ogg theora videos and this is one example.

By default, an avi video format will be used to create a video on vmware.
To convert to ogg theora format, I had to convert it to a ms avi format first. 

1) convert vm avi to ms avi format:
$ mencoder -of avi -ovc lavc welcome.avi -o welcome2.avi

2) convert ms avi to ogg theora
$ ffmpeg2theora welcome2.avi -o welcome.ogg
