+An excellent converter is the

+vlc
+media player, which can perform a variety of transcoding
+.br
+operations, either using the graphical interface, or the commandline for more flexibility.
+.br
+vlc is a complex piece of software, so you should consult it's documentation, before
+.br
+using it.
+.br
+.br
+An example follows, which will resize a recording named out.ogg to 512x384:
+.br
+.B
+vlc \-I dummy out.ogg vlc:quit \-\-sout "#transcode{ vcodec = theo, width = 512, height = 384 }:duplicate{ dst = std{ access = file, mux=ogg, dst = \\"out_512x384.ogg\\" }}"
+.br

+If you wish to change the video quality you can append the
+.B

+with
+.B
+n
+in the range
+.B
+[1,10]
+e.g:
+.br
+.B
+vlc \-I dummy out.ogg vlc:quit \-\-sout "#transcode{ vcodec = theo, width = 512, height = 384 }:duplicate{ dst = std{ access = file, mux=ogg, dst = \\"out_512x384.ogg\\" }}" \-\-sout\-theora\-quality=3
+.br
+which will give a file of a video quality 18 (in a range of 0-63), thus appropriate for web-publishing.
