[Matroska-users] Re: how to do this OGG movie?

[Christian HJ Wiesner]

Tsu-Fan,

i am forwarding your email to the matroska-users list, and i hope our 
Linux experts can tell you whats going on. Maybe the libs we have in 
http://libmatroska.matroska.org are old and you need a CVS checkout from 
http://corecodec.org/projects/matroska ?
