Re: Enhanced Podcasts with Ogg Vorbis (Chapter Marks)

Monty,

How were you thinking of implementing support for chapters in Ogg?
Introduce them into VorbisComment? Or into Skeleton? Or encapsulate
them into a Kate track of sorts? How did OGM do it?

BTW: WebM is currently discussing support for Matroska chapters.

Cheers,
Silvia.
