So far we have many small groups of people that like the format and use it where/when they can. The key features for the moment are the wide & "clean" subtitle support, as well as all possible codecs. But in the coming days/weeks the format should be finalised with all the features we dreamt of having when we created Matroska. That's a huge step, since that means we can rely on things that won't change in the near future. Maybe a bigger and cleaner documentation on the format would help. So what should happen after that ? Matroska alone is not worth anything. What people want (including ourselves) are some tools to use. That means a good video editor that could support all our features. And also be able to play them in their preferred audio/video player on their preferred OS. And those two are huge tasks, even bigger than creating Matroska and the few tools we have now. I hope to count on you all to make these things become true and give Matroska the place it deserves (you'll judge for yourself).

The key features for the moment are the wide & > "clean" subtitle support, as well as all possible codecs. To be more precise, we have mainly the following user groups : 1. RV9/10 lovers, who want to combine their preferred video codec with SSA or vobsub subitles. In case you didnt know, RMVB can also hold - AAC / HE-AAC audio - Vorbis audio - SRT subtitles natively, RealProducer supports those formats since a long time already. 2. anime fangroups, who see in MKV the coolest container for the time being, offering them all they need ( especially SSA and unicode SRT ), with an excellent reputation amongst other ripping groups and rather good playback support on all platforms. Most them are using XviD with Vorbis or AAC in MKV, but i have also seen DivX5 rips occasionally. Of course, its mainly the very good soft-subs support that makes them consider to use MKV instead of AVI ( it seems they dont trust alexnoe's point of view on AVI's capabilities, as well as its future ;) ) and MP4. 3. audio rippers with a brave heart, who like our tagging approach ( standardized system ) better than the 'freedom' of free tagging ;) ... unfortunately they are a small minority currently, and we are missing Goldenear a lot, who was pushing this forward a lot :-( 4. capture freaks who like the perfect sync in MKV captures, thanks to timestamp precision ( most video and audio cards have incorrect A/D clocks, so a framerate based approach wont work well in some cases ) I fully agree with Steve here, the upcoming features you guys have been working on during the last months will certainly attracta LOT more users. Its an exciting phase we are moving in to, and i am looking a lot forward to it :-) ! > But in the coming days/weeks the format should be finalised with all > the features we dreamt of having when we created Matroska.

That's the key ! People only use AVI still because there is Virtualdub, a free video encoding and editing tool ! Look at avi-mux GUI ( amg ) : Its a great tool and will allow a lot of nice things for AVI, comparable to mkvtoolnix and MKV. Still the number of Virtualdub users is 50x times higher, and the ONLY reason for that is that amg can not encode video, and its editing possibilities are limited ( like mkvmerge ). Once we manage to release a real alternative to Virtualdub, like VirtualdubMod, but leaving the boundaries of VfW, there is nothing that can stop MKV anymore ! > I hope to count on you all to make these things become true and give > Matroska the place it deserves (you'll judge for yourself). > Back to work... ;) If i find the time, i will start working on a FAQ document. If i fail to understand XHTML, i will simply make a WORD Document and leave it to you to make XHTML from it :D Let me finish by telling you that i appreciate it a lot to be a matroska team member, and to have the chance to work with you guys on this great project :-) !

What an incredible way to seek a lack of assistance from someone. Tell them that their product will never be worth anything... Someday I hope to attain such high levels of superiority over my fellow man. Please attempt all of the solutions listed here for playback of the file. Once the file can be played back, you should be able to re-encode the file using TMPGEnc. http://packs.matroska.org/issues/ Also, basic questions should be sent to the matroska-users mailing list. Please do not reply directly to my email as I will not see your reply. If you need additional assistance, we will need more information from you about your file. A kinder attitude can also go a long way to obtaining more in depth information from people.

As you can see on the TODO page, I'd like to write (with you all) a DocBook document with more details about the format. It will take some time. But that's needed, as the current specs are only good when you know the format already. > 2. More than money, we need active help by new team members.

You are downloading a pirated movie from the internet, you dont even know if its a fake file, but you feel its a good idea to 'motivate' us to help you by telling us our project sucks. Your email was probably the result of a frustrating evening of trying to get the file to play ..... still i'd claim you owe us an apology. I bet my right arm that your movie contains Realvideo ( RV 9 , RV 10, FourCC : RV40 ), and this means you have to install either Realplayer ( dont use it to play the MKV file, just install it as it will bring the right decoder for Realvideo decompression to your PC ), or RealAlternative to play the file. In our latest installer pack ( 1.0.3 ) we were adding a HUGE WARNING IN BOLT LETTERS for those user who cant read, or are too lazy for that, that they dont have the right decoders for Realvideo on their PC, as we know there are many MKV files with Realvideo out there in the wild. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to ship the Realvideo decoders with our packs, RealNetworks strictly forbid that for licensing reasons. There is another nice tool advertised in our new section, made by Toff, that could help you here. Its called matroskadiag.exe ( http://www.matroska.org/%7Etoff/MatroskaDiag.exe ) and will analyze your MKV files for missing codecs.

And instead of installing softwares to do that on our own, the obvious choice was to do that on CoreCodec. So the project is back on CoreCodec : http://corecodec.org/projects/matroska/ I only enabled the stuff we don't have on our 'own' server. That means I've disables CVS/SVN, file downloads, mailing lists and forums (the CoreCodec forums are enough). I think all people involved in Matroska should register on CoreCodec.ORG so that we can keep track and assign "tasks" to each other (usually auto-assigned). -- robUx4 on blog From steve.lhomme at free.fr Fri Jan 7 13:46:18 2005 From: steve.lhomme at free.fr (Steve Lhomme) Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 13:46:18 +0100 Subject: [Matroska-general] DivX6 to contain menues ?

You can contact LaCie :D I wonder if they internally use VLC or something similar. Because all this stuff is quite new to them. Or maybe they built a software around a chip that can decode all this (there aren't many that can decode AAC).
