So it is irrelevant to this thread.

Sure doable with any non linear video editor. If you don't want to
transcode Cinelerra would be slight overkill but you could do it. This
assumes Theora of course Dirac would be more of a problem but we don't
support it at this time. Your other option would be .odp which we
don't support at the moment but should certainly be possible to
support.

If you are prepared to transcode it is technically possible to do with
non free tools.

They got people running one of the top ten sites on the web to make at

proud
