The video encoder (Theora or Dirac) occupies less than 10 % of the binary size, over 90 % are the "evil" FFMPEG decoders and the Vorbis encoder. So with 2 separate tools you just double the total size for no reason. BTW, FFMPEG2DIRAC still suppports Theora output, so FFMPEG2THEORA could be considered as obsolete (but isn't as I have some additional problems with FFMPEG2DIRAC). Undocumented changes in FFMPEG2THEORA 0.28: (it still works, BTW) * text output is now colourful (was white in <= 0.27) * "est size" is broken, says "-0.0 MB" ... (was OK in 0.27) * updated LibVorbis to "Xiph.Org libVorbis 1.3.2" and "Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20101101 (Schaufenugget)" * updated LibTheora to "Xiph.Org libtheora 1.2.0alpha 20100924 (Ptalarbvorm)" (was Thusnelda in 0.25, 0.26 and 0.27, as well as FD 0.2.0) * imports from "AVICAP32.DLL" (0.27 did not have this issue, some earlier 0.2xx versions had, now it's back ...)
