How to use ffmpeg to encode ogg audio files?

Solution 1:

The answer is in your question:

oggenc option    corresponding ffmpeg option
-b               -b:a
-q               -q:a
-m               -minrate
-M               -maxrate

ffmpeg -i input.aac -c:a libvorbis -b:a 8k output.oga

If your desired value of 8k fails then use a higher bitrate or lower your audio sampling rate with -ar, such as -ar 8000.

You can see additional info and the single private option that is specific to this encoder with:

ffmpeg -h encoder=libvorbis

You can also get info about the muxer/output container format:

ffmpeg -h muxer=ogg

This works for me:

ffmpeg -i test.aac -c:a libvorbis -b:a 64k test.ogg

I don't think 8kb/s is a valid value, but I could be wrong. :-)
