question abt ogg theora container

Will the upcoming Ogg Theora container allow to use any codec? or will it be limited to VP3? What is its status? Thanks.

There is no OGG Theora container, OGG Theora is a video codec that will be stored into OGM (OGG Container) or maybe other containers also.

Linux can write windows structure :)

Knowing them, I doubt they worked as much as they hyped.

LOL ! and then the answer : Ehehehehe ... anybody care to tell them about Blacksun's OggPrak :D ?? BTW, the fact they decided to use the same extension for audio and video files, and by any means, was one of the factors that confirmed me in my decision to support a new, alternative a/v container best i could ..... ;) .....

There is nothing wrong with the way they chose to do it. Simply put many of them are coming from a non Windows world. Windows is the only world where extensions are king. Everywhere else content decides before extension in most cases. Linux, BSD, BeOS, OSX, etc all do alot of content based differentiation. With a tiny bit of extension window dressing here and there.

and BlackSuns OggPrak really does a great work! (for those who dont know it, OggPrak can be used to automatically pass .ogg video files to a video player and .ogg audio files to an audio player) get it from

Indeed. I still remember when he and I broached the subject to Emmett well over a year ago. What we really need is a larger general purpose loader to replace the deficient windows one. :D But it is indeed a good start.
