Re: ffv1 in mkv

Hey,

the advantage is cooperation and interoperability. Ideally there's
always only one implementation of how a codec is stored in a codec. I
know this isn't true (e.g. the AVI compatibility mode vs. native modes),
but that should be the goal.

There is no formal way to make this happen. I'd prefer the following:

- Make a proposal here how to store things. CodecID? Is CodecPrivate
  required, if yes, what would the format look like? Any special
  considerations regarding framing (e.g. repeating things like sequence
  headers before I frames, requirements for new Matroska elements etc)?

- Make a proposal for a short description for the codec specs page on
  www.matroska.org ; if CodecPrivate is required create an informal spec
  for that and post it here, too

- Let the discussion begin!

- Someone from the Matroska team (most likely me as only Steve and I
  have write access to www.matroska.org) will then add the CodecID and
  CodecPrivate descriptions to the appropriate web pages.

- If possible create patches for VLC and ffmpeg/libav, but post them on
  their respective bug trackers, not here. libMatroska usually doesn't
  need any patching.

- If applicable post patches to MKVToolNix on my issue tracker, or at
  least provide a sample file if possible so that I can implement
  support for it.

Kind regards,
mosu
