convert video file to .ogg

I've been having trouble with this because I'm new to Linux:
I would like to convert different video formats to ogv. I found some terminal commands like this: ffmpeg -i input.avi -acodec libvorbis -ac 1 -b 768k output.ogg

The problem with these type of commands is that they are intended to change bit rate, fps, or even resolution. I would like to just change the file format without changing anything else about the video.

I looked at the man pages for ffmpeg and found some useful info but I don't know how to space command-line options.

Are there any easy ways to do this? In addition, is there a command to change the bit rate so that it doesn't go over a certain rate?

I figured it out here is the command

ffmpeg -y -i '/media/some/file.mkv' -s 1920x1080

 -aspect 16:9 -r 25 -b 18550k -bt 22792k -vcodec libtheora 

 -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 320k lol.ogg

-b is target bit rate
-bt is like max bit rate
-ac 2 -ar 48000 is stereo 48 kHz
-ab is audio bit rate
