The speed, rendered quality or the variety of the codec selection are the result of the great work achieved by the respective authors of ffmpeg , MEncoder , Mplayer , x264 , ffmpeg2theora , MusePack (mpc) ,libavcodec library (compiled inside ffmpeg and MEncoder) & the theora/vorbis RealProducer's plugIn.
