[theora] simple ogg video joiner GUI for windows

[Michael Dale]

Hi Ort,
I would keep an eye on Firefogg (firefogg.org) ... it will include some 
utilities for joining ogg files for flattenging video from our 
in-browser sequencer: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Sequencer

Probably a month away from something very usable but just giving you a 
heads up that work is happening in the direction you described. But the 
platform is javascript / Firefox extension rather than a desktop GUI :)

peace,

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCD3IxCZpsM&feature=related ) for an example but our version will consist of free/open source videos of single words that anyone can remix to make their own sentences out of them. i will have converted all the videos we shoot to ogg format for students to join them end by end to create their own sentences and they will need a simple free program to be able to do that...
