For now when getting video from your filter I'm just assuming it would be
theora encoded. If ogg container will support more video formats in
future, it shouldn't be too hard to support them too - at least for
ffdshow as video decoder filter.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what BOS means.

If you'd like to demux other stream formats, try mp4 (quicktime) . AFAIK there is
no opensourced mp4 demuxer filter.

Thanks. I "reverse engineered" width, height and frame rate. This was
enough for me now, maybe aspect ratio would be interesting too when
anamorphic theora clips will be available.
