To use binary XML for a container format is a very bad idea. It's just too complicated to deal with, I hate MKV and I always remux files with H264 and AAC to MP4, because it just works - and it just works on my Samsung Galaxy S, too. I got several problems with MKV, so I dropped it.

I did a draft for a simple but universal container format. If you are interested, write a PM.

What is wrong with WAVEPack Hybrid? It sounds 10000x better than any psycho format like mp3, AAC and vorbis, because it does not touch the frequency spectrum. That's why I wanted to use this.

The WAVEPack decoder in libavcodec is not usable, it is very buggy. Sometimes you can hear "ticks" and sometimes any channel gets muted. The original decoder filter of core codec does not work when demuxed from MKV.

@PS: How can I cut an MKV to a piece of 3 seconds? Does MKVMerge support it?
