        I don't think VP3/Theora implicitly supports this. But you could
probably hack together a solution with multiple files if you really needed
to.

        Interleaving is outside the domain of Theora, which is just the
video codec. Whatever container you choose for Theora data can probably be
coerced into whatever interleaving scheme you have in mind.

        That's all I can answer...
