[ excerpt from developer's site ]

|
matroska is a project aiming to become the standard of Multimedia
|
|
Container Formats one day. It was derived from a similar project
|
|
called MCF, but differentiates from that significantly because it
|
|
is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language ), a kind of
|
|
binary version of XML. This way the development team gains significant
|
|
advantages in terms of future format extensability, without breaking
|
|
file support in old parsers.
|
|
|
|
Advanced because it is based on EBML, a kind of XML equivalent,
|
|
that allow infinite extensibility of the format. And full featured
|
|
because it includes precise seeking, any audio/video/subtitle codec
|
|
support including VCM/ACM/DirectShow compatibility, timecode based
|
|
format, complex frame dependencies, chaptering, internationalisation,
|
|
error protection, tagging, file attachement, control track (to be
|
|
defined), menu (to be defined), etc.
|
|
|
|
All these features are not yet implemented but already defined in
|
|
the format.
