About matroska, we currently have XviD DivX 3/4/5 WMV9 MPEG4V1/2/3 RealVideo ( rv 10,20,30,40 = RV9 ) any VCM codec MP3 AC3 DTS AAC AAC SBR Vorbis FLAC MP2 RA8 RALF ATRAC CELP any ACM codec SRT SSA ASS Vobsub Vobsub/zlib chapters track names tags attachements supported in matroska already, and in any combination and unlimited number of tracks. I know this all, in theory, could have been done with MOV also, but i dont know of any existing software that actually does it ;) ? About Arpi's rant( C++ ) : we have a nice working C lib now, made by Ronald 'BBB' Bultje, in L-GPL. Its the base for his matroska gstreamer plugin, and in gstreamer CVS.
