Please allow me to point out that OGM has its origin in a DirectShow filter, or to be more precise in 2 of them : - a Dshow based OGM muxer, including Vorbis encoder - a OGM parser for DShow The first OGM files were created with Graphedit, the Windows DirectShow GUI, made by M$. In a second step koepi made a nice GUI for it ( but still calling the DShow muxer ), and only in a third step Moritz Bunkus was capable of 'reverse engineer' Tobias filters and create Linux tools for the format. It was Alban 'albeu' Bedel who added OGM parsing to mplayer, and again Moritz Bunkus who could solve some bugs ( seeking, etc. ) > Surely that's only three :-) I believe the MCF spec is still not > complete.

We dont know if people will prefer it against OGM, but we also have a few things prepared to hold against it ;-) : UCI ( Universal Codec Interface; http://uci.sf.net ) USF ( Universal Subtitle Format ; http://corecodec.org/projects/usf ) UMI OGM is mainly a VfW video stream packed into Ogg. Sorry for the arrogance, but we cant see it as a real challenge for matroska and the concept behind it.
