First, it is essential to clarify exactly "What an Audio/Video
container is", to avoid any misunderstandings:
* It is NOT a video or audio compression format (video codec)
* It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and
subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie or CD
in a single file.
Matroska is designed with the future in mind. It incorporates features
you would expect from a modern container format, like:
* Fast seeking in the file
* High error recovery
* Chapter entries
* Selectable subtitle streams
* Selectable audio streams
* Modularly Extendable
* Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP audio & video streams)
* Menus (like DVDs have)
