I can give you a commandline to grab the tapes with dvgrab (you want raw dv as 
container..) and a little script to encode to theora with ffmpeg2theora. (I 
guess you dont care about mpeg ;-)

I _guess_ the first is mentioned on http://layer-acht.org/video - for the 
second I'll send a seperate mail when I'm online again. (It's really just 
ffmpeg2theora with some fancy options, but it takes some time to find those.)

I would also love to see a (probably gstreamer based) script to encode to 
dirac (the new codec developed by the BBC aimed a high quality videos), so 
far I've only found "oggconvert", which supports a variaty of codecs but is 
only GUI based. I haven't looked into this myself, as the one time I tried to 
convert to dirac, I could only encode videos with it, but not decode aka view 
them...


regards,
	Holger
