Yacoob 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2005 Matroska aims to become THE standard of multimedia container formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly because it is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. EBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility, without breaking file support in old parsers.First, it is essential to clarify exactly "What an Audio/Video container is", to avoid any misunderstandings:It is NOT a video or audio compression format (video codec) It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie or CD in a single file. Matroska is designed with the future in mind. It incorporates features you would expect from a modern container format, like:Fast seeking in the file High error recovery Chapter entries Selectable subtitle streams Selectable audio streams Modularly Extendable Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP audio & video streams) Menus (like DVDs have) Matroska is an open standards project. This means for personal use it is absolutely free to use and that the technical specifications describing the bitstream are open to everybody, even to companies that would like to support it in their products. The source code of the libraries developed by the Matroska Development Team is licensed under GNU L-GPL.The founders of Matroska have the following goals:Create and document a modern, flexible and cross-platform Audio/Video container format, in combination with an open codec API to form a free and open media framework Establish Matroska as the opensource alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, MPG Develop a set of tools for the creation, editing and implementation of Matroska files Develop libraries and tools for software developers to be able to support Matroska in their applications Prepare hardware support of Matroska files in next generations standalone units, in close cooperation with device manufacturers Support adoption and implementation of Matroska's libraries into OpenBeOS Mediakit and GStreamer (Multimedia Framework for Linux , equivalent to Microsoft DirectShow ® for Windows ) Launch a set of DirectShow filters for playback and creation of Matroska files on Windows Operating Systems We invite every interested developer to join our team and to help us to achieve these goals. While most of the existing Matroska code is in C++ we are also interested in C and Java programmers joining us.Yacoob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 butter1093What Is Mkv? Need Help With This File Format?MKV is the Video container format similar to .AVI and .MOV that supports several types of video compression and video codec. So you will always happen that some MKV videos could play on your media player . If you HD MKV can not play on your PC, the first thing, please download a free MKV codec package . If you still can not open the file, you have to think about converting the MKV files to other compatible formats for your media player on your PC. So, you have to get a powerful all codecs included Mkv converter to help you convert all MKV files to any other video formats you want. Hope you could solve your problem.
