Actually after posting I checked out the wikipedia mkv page, which
claims menuing "seems to have been abandoned"

Actually I find the menus on DVDs annoying in the extreme, but it
would be nice, in those cases where the extras are worth watching, to
be able to have a basic menu in mythvideo to play "main feature"
"making of" etc...
