$> mencoder summit07_eben1.ogg -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -vf 
scale=320:240 -o summit1.mpg

Thanks, much, RC.  I used the command above (found it on 
http://nlindblad.org/2007/01/28/screencasting-and-youtube-compliant-encoding/ 
)
and the file plays just fine on my old system.

I also tried the following command to simply rescale to smaller video 
frame size:
$ mencoder summit07_eben1.ogg -oac lavc -ovc lavc -ofps 30 -vf 
scale=320:240 -o summit2.ogg

That did not work much better than the original.
Tom
