If video is recorded and saved in ogg/theora container/format, could it be 
converted into matroska/theora container/format without loss of quality for 
the purpose of editing, and then converted back into ogg/theora 
container/format without loss of quality for streaming?  Would the advantage 
that the matroska container has in editing make it worth the effort to do the 
confersion?
