Hi,

I am trying to reencode a video from the European Parliament (WMV)
which has multiple audio tracks for the different languages:

I was wondering if OGV supports multi-audio tracks, howto create such
files, and if the audio track choice is implemented in Chrome/Firefox.

Best,

patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
