[Matroska-devel] libmatroska documentation

[Tom Gaudasinski]

Greetings Steve,
    I've taken a short look at the VLC code and It's quite overwhelming, 
but later on I'll troll through it given it's the only option I have. 
I'm not a big fan of reading source =). Although I'm willing to put the 
effort in because I personally think your format is far superior to that 
of AVI. As for C parsers, I'd like to keep it C++ as much as possible 
due to the fact that I'm still learning C++ (know C fairly well) and 
want as much exposure as i can get.

Thanks.
