That's  what  I  used  so  far  too.  But  reading loads of instructions I got
confused.
What's with this Matroska container? Better than ogm?
Why seem so few people use ffmpeg mpeg4 (libavcodec) instead  of  xvid?  Seems
much quicker and better.
x264 being too young to be better than xvid?
Concerning audio why not faac instead of vorbis?

Got Your srtfix already, all in all it is still very time-consumptioning. Does
ocrad a better job than gocr?
