files created with ogmmerge > 1.1 unplayable on Windows and broken on big
endian platforms.
Other changes:
1.2
o Implemented reading older OGM files with the broken streamr
headers produced by ogmmerge < 1.1. Re-merging should be enough
to fix the headers.
o Improved MP3 and AC3 detection.
1.1
o ogmdemux skips empty packets in the text subtitle streams.
o Updated the avilib to the latest version from mkvtoolnix. It
should be able to handle OpenDML AVIs.
o Added a --summary option to ogminfo which will display the size,
bitrate, number of packets/frames and total length in seconds for
each track.
o Added an option, --omit-empty-packets, that will suppress the
creation of empty subtitle packets.
o When splitting files the second and all following files have a new
chapter entry starting at 00:00:00 which is marked with
"(continued)".
o Improved OS/X and BSD/OS compatibility.
o Fixed the OGM stream headers again - they wouldn't play back on
Windows, and they would be broken on big endian systems.
Changes:
- Imported changes that make the ogmtools compile and work under FreeBSD
(and possibly under other BSD variants as well); patch by
Andrew Williams <andrew.s.williams AT adelaide.edu.au>.
- Lots of fixes for endian handling (thanks for the large patch to
Andreas Schwab <schwab AT suse.de>).
- Fixed a segfault in ogmdemux (thanks to Tilmann Bitterberg).
- Made the OGM reader more error resiliant if the file is damaged.
ogmtools are a set of utilities for Ogg Media files (OGM) manipulation,
written by Moritz Bunkuns.
Ogg is a container format that can contains much more than a simple
Vorbis sound stream: notably, you can have a video stream, subtitles,
etc.
ogmtools are not meant to encode or decode anything, but will be used
complementary to mplayer/mencoder or any other media encoding utility.
ogmmerge will produce an OGM file from separated components, like an
audio track and a video track, and ogmdemux will have the inverse
behaviour. ogmsplit will cut a file into several parts, and ogminfo
will print information about the file. The last tool, dvdxchap is
used in combination with ogmmerge to add some special comments into
the resulting OGM file to provide chaptering with the player that
support it (the OggDS Windows filter takes advantage of that).
