No problem. I've actually remembered another thing. There was oggz-cat or something like that, inside liboggz (a different package), but unfortunately they've deprecated and discontinued that one. You may want so search for that one as well.

<p>I have created a OGG file from a stream of jpegs using fmpeg within a c# application.  I would like to know if it is possible to add an image (of same size and resolution) at a later date to this ogg file?</p>

<p>I have spent some time looking but found not even the subject matter anywhere. I could extract all the images from the ogg file and recreate the ogg file form all the images but this seems a long way of doing things.</p>

<p>Is it possible at all please? I would post code relevant if I had any.</p>

<p>Thanks...</p>
