You have to admit. It could be a bit much going from an obscure nobody in Spain to a well known famous though somewhat reclusive figure on the encoding sceen. How would any of us react in his place.

Funny how this has all gone down. A few other people along with myself have different perspectives if and why Tobias might have joined XIPH. Some good some bad.

Well, I am glad that this conflict is over. At least now there is a better container than AVI available that will be standard. Of course Ogg still has issues as it is not really designed for such use. But hey, maybe I'm just too biased.
Anyway, the bottom line is that we will not cease development of Matroska because of this. We need a format designed from the ground up for these purposes not from the top back to the ground and up again. Anyway, why does everyone think Matroska is so far off? From our current position we don't have far to go before we can have working tools. I am not saying Ogg is bad or you shouldn't use it. I use it. But it is still lacking in some areas. Just don't get too carried away over it. I don't mean for this post to come across as rude or degrading to Ogg. I just don't like how some people (not here) have decided that Matroska is a useless idea now that we have an official Ogg container to use. Last edited by spyder; 9th January 2003 at 21:43. |

Yes well, that was before the realization that the old MCF had serious faults. Now these faults have been fixed and coding is already in prgress for the new libraries, both C++ and Java. With the codebase we already had, which had been proven to work as shown in our private DShow filters, we are only a few months away from a release.
OK, that last part was rude...retracted. Last edited by spyder; 8th January 2003 at 01:53. |

But, as Spyder pointed out, the format was changed to make it better. It should now be the most flexible container in existance. So, when we say that it will be out soon, it actually will. But anyway. I think its great that Xiph has accepted Tobias onto their team, and taken the OGGDS into their CVS, instead of bringing legal action into the picture.... |

IMO, it's surely a great thing that Tobias' work has became "official". It'll be another nail in (what I expect to be) AVI's coffin. More people will get in touch with OGM, and start working with it. Quote:
