[Thoggen-devel] OGM vs Matroska?

[Sami H. <re...@re...>]

Hey all,

I stumbled upon Thoggen the second time now and while i consider it a 
great project, I can't stop wondering why you have chosen Ogg Media 
container over Matroska?

I just keep wondering if there is a reason for this or is it just an 
oversight for the fact that Ogg Media container is a crude hack that 
wasn't really meant for widespread use.

Quick reading about Avi, Matroska and OGM comparison. All the 
interesting bits are mostly in the summary section. (this might be 
biased though)

I'm not trying to convince you to drop OGM support, but it might benefit 
the project to include Matroska support too. Since the support for 
muxing and demuxing Matroska is in Gstreamer, it should be reasonably 
straight forward to add support.

How about it?
