Is it still super complicated and like a lot of hard work?
It's not too hard now if you're running Firefox 3.5. Just edit your video in whatever video software is easiest on your machine (e.g., Windows Movie Maker) and save a high quality version in a convenient format (e.g., AVI, MPEG, other common formats), then go firefogg.org, install the plug-in, click "make ogg", and use the default encoding settings.
If you're feeling especially ambitious, you can add metadata and/or fiddle with the resolution and bit-rate settings (all through firefogg). Converting to Commons-ready ogg with firefogg is actually easier than uploading a file to Commons.
See now...when I read Steve's question, I was thinking about the "hard work" of taking care of the star of the film...
Cheers, Sage.
