mmm ...  a programmer not striving for simplicity ....
I fear your code.
I am unsatisfied with ogm and wanted to give a try
to the mkv thing but now i am thinking again.
(Has anyone tryed quicktime .mov or mp4 ?)
I humbly suggest you (and every other programmer
that has not yet done) to read

The Practice of Programming
by Brian W. Kernighan (Author), Rob Pike (Author) 
ISBN: 020161586X

well worth the price.
