[Matroska-devel] Re: [Matroska-users] Matroska playback on Linux & Mac OS X

[Steve Lhomme]

Hi,

Matroska is not a codec. It has been supported by default in MPlayer and 
VLC for years now. There might be some codec stored in matroska that 
don't play in these (but not very many). But that's not really 
matroska's fault.

For OS X there is also Perian that enables matroska playback in Quicktime.
