Its impolite to spam 3 mailing lists, just because you are having a 
problem watching a standard MKV file. matroska-users is clearly where 
this email belongs, matroska-devel is for developer communication only, 
matroska-general is about general questions on the matroska project. 
Also, you cant expect people to copy your email adress when replying, if 
you turn to a mailing list for help, you have to subscribe first (and 
may unsubscribe if your problems are solved).

Also, how should we feel inclined to help you with YOUR problem if you 
are not even taking the time to tell us what programs you have installed 
already, and what exactly the error messages are when playing the file 
with them ?

Interesting statement from the mouth of a very good developer, and BTW
the creator of the only 'official' DShow filter sets for all Xiph products.
Sorry to hear NUT is stalled ...

Hello,

(Sorry, this is a bit off-topic.)

I was reading some stuff and came across the NUT container data format.
(The NUT website is down... so I could not read up on it.  But perhaps
someone here knows about it.)

Like Ogg and Matroska, NUT also seem to be a Free multimedia container
data format.

But how does it compare to Ogg (and even Matroska)?  Why was it created
when Ogg (and Matroska) already exist?  (Does NUT have different design
goals?)

Here's the links for it...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUT_Container
http://www.nut.hu/  (was down though)


See ya

There's currently some work done in FFMPEG to finally support NUT 
demuxing (not sure about muxing).

After all NUT started just a little after we started coding Matroska, 5 
years ago. And they still don't have stable specs/code. So I'm not too 
worried...

There was also some discussion on ffmpeg-cvs recently about matroska. 
And given the comments from the NUT people it seems they just want to 
replace AVI without much more features... Or at least they never thought 
about all the features we already support.

i am looking for a tool that works like ratdvd

in otherwords it can compress a DVD menus, extras and all then 
decompress and burn it

Can matroska accomplish this?  I know you guys had some communication 
with the guy who developed ratdvd as to doing this, is it possible?

Apologies if I am directing this query to the wrong place.
I have recently downloaded an Mpeg file. When I try to play the file I 
get error message: First file is not EBML. Google search to find out 
what EBML is has brought me here. What can I do to fix this file, Please?

Hi

I have downloaded a .mkv file and cannot convert it for burning as 
there is no support for macintosh that I can find.  If you want this 
format to be universal, there are a lot of mac users out here!!

Some basic questions:
- What OS are you using ?
- What software are you using ?
- How do you know it's an MPEG file ?
