What about multiple angles using xvid?

[\AX]

I didnt see a 'containter' forum so im not sure where this should go.

Anyways, is this possible?

Is there a container format out there that allows you to just use directories for the container??? like all video in 1 directory, sound in another, multiangles in another, subs in another, etc...
Also ive only used containers like matroska and ogm so far, however they require you to mux everything.

I dont want to mux ANY streams.

Something that would sort of be like xml/html based.

I was wondering if i could do the above like this..

VIDEO_DIRECTORY - here would be the main video streams
AUDIO_DIRECTORY - here would be the major audio streams
SUBS_DIRECTORY - here would be the subtitles
MULTI_ANGLE_AUDIO_DIR - here would be the multiple angles audio
MULTI_ANGLE_VIDEO_DIR - here would be the multiple angles video
so on and so forth.

Then have just a file in the root directory alongs side of these directories then have that file read those directories for avail. streams.

This already possible?? if not why isnt it a good idea to do it like this?

How exactly is it a container if you don't mux?

New A/V Formats, would be a more appropriate forum.

The problem with your idea would be that the hard disk would have to read from diferent files at the same time so it would probably require a really fast hard disk or jerky playback would appear :eek:

anyway i think that storing everything in a single file is much easyer than having separate files.

Moving to the New Formats section.

OGM principially support multiple videostreams, I think. Exactly similar to audio- or substreams.

But you must use Graphedit (MS) for muxing into one OGM file. What I know, Virtualdubmod don't support muxing multiple videostreams. Or do?

Both Ogg and Matroska should support this fine. Currently I don't think there is much support for multiple video streams. I think mkvmerge can make a matroska file with two video streams possibly but I don't believe there is any playback support.

OGMuxer(GUI) can mux multiple video streams in an ogm container.
The current directshow filter sometimes doesn't switch them properly, though. Maybe this issue is already on Nics and Koepis todo list :)

Playback might not neccesarily be jerky...avisynth playback audio and video seperately right now fine. However it lacks the multiangle support.

Ultimately i thought there would/could/should be some sort of support for XviD in this manner. Like DVD porno, how it works it's angles.

Playback shouldnt be a issue i wouldnt think, control however would be, which is what i cant find right now for this.

Aha! So that's what your motive is to do this!

Seriously I think having it all in 1 file makes distribution and browsing much easier than having multiple DIR's.
