I'm trying to create files that contain a video stream, one or more audio streams, subtitles, and DVD-like chapter information. ATM, I use ogm containers that can handle all this. But although ogm is supported e.g. by xine (including chapters), it seems to be an unofficial hack. Is that correct? I'd like to move to ogg containers, since ogm doesn't support theora videos. My final

...ddisk. I'm the type of guy who often wants to watch only some parts of a movie, and chapters greatly simplify finding a certain scene (or skip one that is too exciting...). > > > There is an old python script for cmml at > > http://svn.annodex.net/scripts/trunk/subtitles/script-subrip2cmml.py . > > I'm not sure something like this exists for kate. > > But it should not be too hard to write one. > > kateenc (a tool bundled with libkate) can convert a srt file to a Kate stream, > which can then be multiplexed along with a Theora video (and other Kate, > Vor...

...s, I am not so sure about. I assume the subtitles that you have are in srt format which is why you chose ogm as the container format? You will need to transcode them to CMML or Kate to encode into Ogg. There is an old python script for cmml at http://svn.annodex.net/scripts/trunk/subtitles/script-subrip2cmml.py . I'm not sure something like this exists for kate. But it should not be too hard to write one. One more piece of news: I am currently doing a contract for Mozilla about video accessibility for Ogg. There is a lot of work going on in this space right now and we expect to have subtitle suppo...
