Not a howto, but I just published an article by Steven M. Schultz
regarding some performance of encoding MPEG-4/DivX (using non-threaded)
and MPEG-2 (using threaded encoder) on BSD/OS 4.3.1, BSD/OS 5.0, FreeBSD
5.1 and SuSE Linux 8.2. It is at

p.s. I hope to write an article about Ogg Theora which I pkgsrc-ized
(pkgsrc is NetBSD's cross-platform ports framework) and have been using it
for a few months. Anyone else using Ogg Theora for video?
