[matroska-general] Re: Asking for publishing magazine

[Christian HJ Wiesner]

Hi Atsushi,

i herewith aprove your request to include our matroska project support 
from VirtualdubMod in your Net-Runner magazine. Please understand that 
matroska is not a codec, but a container format ( similar to AVI ) that 
can be used to create digital movies with modern audio and video codecs 
like Ogg Vorbis / MPC / XviD / DivX / AC3 / MP3, while AVI does not 
support this anymore in many respects ( its too old ).

matroska is an opensource and open standard project, and support for 
Asian characters in file names as well as in subtitles was on the very 
top of our priority list from the very start. Please point your users 
also to the other software on our homepage :

http://www.matroska.org
http://www.matroska.org/announce.html

Without the matroska DirectShow parser from 
http://matroska.sourceforge.net/downloads/mkxds-v0.4.0.zip your users 
will not be able to play the files they created with VirtualdubMod, so i 
recommend that you incude at least this file int your CD. Please accept 
our apologies that the current version of the parser filter will support 
unicode file names just fine, but not unicode subtitles output yet. We 
are working hard on this to fix that.

Our Linux tools are here : http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ 
; as usual on Linux, these are sources for compilation on the Linux 
distro the users is running, but there are binaries also.

To best view matroska files we recommend a great DirectShow Mediaplayer 
clled 'The Core Media Player' ( freeware ) from 
http://www.corecoded.com. The administrator to talk to is Dan 'Betaboy' 
Marlin ( betaboy at corecodec.com ).
