Just got a mail 1 minute before your post in this forum where Tobias wrote about that
I'm sorry that I had to nag Tobias with that(well, one mail asking about releasing the sources isn't really nagging), but now really noone can complain - OGM is alive and kickin'! Koepi

Just kidding. But seriously, this is good news. Competition is good. The fact that OGM can do chapters is one of the driving reasons to hurry up and get chapters working in Matroska. We don't want to completely pass up OGM in a week and have nothing to compete against. Maybe we should pull Toff away from Matroska and have him focus on fixing OggDS. |

I would hope development would continue, at the very least it seems they are interested. You are right whether or not it actually becomes the container that hold theora, I guess time only will tell.

I should maybe not comment this thread here, but this is what i liked to say :
I personally see OGMs future as a supported format from Xiph, or not. I may be wrong here, but this is my opinion. Just think of what happens if libogg is no longer supported, and OGM become incompatible with oggfile, which is incorportating Theora and Ogg handling in general. Monty has recently stated on #vorbis that IHO Tobias has done a great job to stick to the Ogg specs as close as possible, as far as he can tell. Maybe only the 'mapping' of the DivX codec had to change. Now i bet every sum that Monty - has no detailled insight how the VCM codec mapping is actually working in OGM - doesnt know what a BITMAPINFOHEADER is, nor a VIDEOINFOHEADER - has not really considered how such Windows centric structs can be generated on Linux, his preferred OS ( ask Mosu, he knows about it very well ) - will die a sudden and hard death, presumable from a heart attack, once he finds out that Tobias is fully depending on the information that DirectShow is giving the OggDS muxer filter ( again, BITMAPINFOHEADER and VIDEOINFOHEADER ) to be able to initialize the codec on playback He maybe has a feeling that this is the case now, thats why he said the 'codec mapping may change', but guys .... if he does change that, all your existing OGM may be supported for playback, but unevitable become out of spec for the future ..... Just my 2 cents, not here to start a flame war ( and i havent mentioned our stuff !! ) Christian |

this may sound selfish, but personally I would love _any_ container as long as I can softsub in SSA Yep, that s what I want to do.
To all the godlike developers here: plz support embedded SSA in OGM! And make it unicode-base! That's all what I want....^^; It was once my dream. I gave up once. I m glad to know that it was not dead after all |

I'm pretty sure Liisachan knows how to use the Matroska Muxer just as well as the rest of us... She did write a Matroska article on her page, and did some early SSA testing with said filter. -_-;;
Anyways, to bring this back on topic, I think it's only a matter of time now for OGM to match some of Matroska's features--just as Matroska is working to match (and out do) mature OGM features. |

Sorry pals, but could you discuss matroska related topics in a matroska thread instead of hijacking _the_ OGM revival thread? This is rude of you.
But this just proves my oppinion about certain people right again Koepi
