OGM : comments not in specs?

[Zenitram]

OGG specs says for comments :

http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html
--> 8 bit clean UTF-8 encoded field


But with Oggmux, VirtuaDubMod or even Cyrius OGMux, format is always ISO 8859-1, not UTF-8! :(
If I try to put UTF-8 in a OGM file (like Winamp do with OGG, as in specifications), OggDS doesn't like it, it crashes :(

It would be better to be in agreement with the specifications of OGG format, wouldn't be?

To be honest OGM comment specs are completely outside the OGG specification. The comments as defined by Xiphophorus curently exist only in the vorbis stream itself and not in OGG IIRC. This may change in the future. Tobias and Xiph are co-operating now.

I already reported this problem to Tobias diretly after the 0.9.9.5 release he send me 0.9.9.6, which is fixing that, but it won´t be released because of to minor changes.

Yes, but Tarkin-W3D uses exactly the same system and it would be logically to use the same system for all kinds of streams.

Very well.
I will prepare my software to be UTF-8 compliant in OGGs an OGMs too, I think it's logical to have the same systems for the boths :)
