It was derived from a similar project +called MCF, but differentiates from that significantly because it +is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language ), a kind of +binary version of XML. This way the development team gains significant +advantages in terms of future format extensability, without breaking +file support in old parsers. + +Advanced because it is based on EBML, a kind of XML equivalent, +that allow infinite extensibility of the format. And full featured +because it includes precise seeking, any audio/video/subtitle codec +support including VCM/ACM/DirectShow compatibility, timecode based +format, complex frame dependencies, chaptering, internationalisation, +error protection, tagging, file attachement, control track (to be +defined), menu (to be defined), etc. + +All these features are not yet implemented but already defined in +the format. + +WWW: http://www.matroska.org/ |
