Still, i agree our website urgently needed updating, but we're all just human beings and working on our maximum limits. About Fb2k, we can not do the work of the devs for them. matroska has gained some popularity meanwhile, and we will always make sure to have at least one working playback possibility for the stuff we are doing. With the Fb2k project we have been very kind and supportive during the last years, it was always us updating the MKA plugin for them. As we are getting more and more involved with much more important stuff than a single audio player, it is now the job of the player developers to bring their player up-to-date. We don't have the time nor the motivation to do so any longer.

Hi, Matroska is not related to DrDivX. It just happened that I put these files on my own account some time ago. Now DrDivX (currently beta9) comes with DrFFMPEG in the installer, so the version on matroska.org is not needed anymore.

That's strange because the duration is written as a float so can hardly be interpreted wrong...

Please Reply!!! Hi! well, there is one thing you have not tried out before writing to every Matroska list possible. You have not read torrent FAQ. Torrents can not generally be played before they are _completely_ downloaded. This has nothing to do with Matroska.

Therefore, our web page can be somewhat outdated. But there is an active community (one of the most active developers is Sebastien Moutte) among GStreamer community pushing the work further. I know they did very much since my attempts but I do not know if anybody is working on a GUI player. I think this is a pity, precompiled binaries for Windows with GUI player could attract many new GStreamer developers from Windows world.

No, it's just if you want to display text subtitles with the provided font. I don't think DVD Santa can support text subtitles, so there's no point, yes and no will produce the same result.
