Idea for dual audio useage

Ok, I came up with this idea for use of the ogm container in combination with anime music videos. Creator commentary.

Im assuming it hasnt been done yet, that most amv makers/watchers download anime(unlicensed),and most know what an ogm file is. This container is a simple enough for this idea, unlike the mkv format wich can hold many more audio tracks for amvs i beleive only 2 is needed.

The first track being the normally included audio(intro,song,outro). The second track would include a lower volume level of the normally included audio and the artists commentary. This would lower the amount of questions like: how did they do that(assuming most of you dont follow that annoying magicians code), quality questions, idea questions. Seeing as before i actually started making amvs(2-3yrs ago) I found myself asking alot of these questions, I think this would improve many aspects of the anime music video community and most likely increase interest in anime music videos.

I like to experiment with things so... Im willing to be the first guinea pig, due to the fact that I have 3 music videos almost ready and im trying something new with each one(new to me neway).

I offer this idea up for discussion.
One thing....

no torches and pitchforks plz

well, not everybody downloading amvs is familiar with ogm. personally, i leave my commentary in the video comments section, but i can see the advantage of adding commentary while the video is playing.

anyways, the idea sounds like it could be worth the extra stream and not-so-common format for those who care- go for it.

Yea, that's probably interesting as an idea.

Which reminds me - are there any multiple-audio AMV's around yet? I'm just wondering whether someone can really make it work; I've seen a game video with 5 audio tracks, and I thought it was kinda neat. It's probably sort of novel to me as an editor to see a video which was, technically, edited 'reversely' - editing audio to match up video instead of the more normal cutting-video-to-sound pattern

I don't think anyone's used the .ogm/matroska/insert-odd-format-here containers to do multi-audio AMVs yet. The problem is that it'd limit the audience somewhat...

Still, it's a nifty idea, except in a couple cases where I could see the audio commentary being much longer than the video itself (take Silence, for example)

but thats y would prescript ur commentary, kinda like pointing out little things that you thought that ppl would have a wtf or hth question for, basically keeping it to the point and short n simple
