container format library. Matroska aims to become THE Standard of Multimedia Container Formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly. It is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. Matroska is designed with the future in mind. It incorporates features you would expect from a modern container format, like: - Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP) - Fast seeking in the file - High error recovery - Menus (like DVDs have) - Chapter entries - Selectable subtitle streams - Selectable audio streams - Modularly extendable From pkgsrc-wip, submitted by Sergey Svishchev.
