sitting on my toilet there just came the perfect file-extension-name for matroska to my mind:
mp5 (as mp4 is already used ) m for matroska p for packet, power, project... and 5 for ... uh i guess you will find something in matroska that has to do with 5 and because of this file-extension-name the masses (yeah the masses) will love matroska, just because it sounds like mp3 (and gaining popularity is half the work) i know this is a little bit sassy but... |

How about dext
It's been a long time since I last of him. But if my memories are good (geeze one does get old quickly trying to keep track of all of these projects) he also branched out of wtf was the old standard name (TMF MCF or I' dont know what) to found his own. U might wanna see if he can rally with you.
P.S.: Please don't branch anymore or my brains are gonna blow out. Anyways You can only branch 36*36*36 times before running out of three characters extensions

Uh? I branched? Perhaps you are talking about the old MCF-CD/XCD discussion, which are different projects than Mode2CDMaker, and neither has nothing to do with MCF and Matroska projects. So we are talking about 5 projects here: two extended CD formats, a generic CD creator, and two containers.
Since MCF-CD is mostly dead, I use XCD name because it's shorter and it's basically the same thing (it just lacks the error protection to be a "real" XCD). Remember XCD was designed by avih with Mode2CDMaker in mind. But I did not branch from anywhere since I started developing this alone, before knowing about MCF-CD (and of course XCD). On the mean time Mode2CDMaker will probably become "XCD Maker" once we integrate the error correction into either the tool or the GUI, since I'm currently the only one at charge of the XCD stuff. So in the end we will have a single Form2 CD format from my side, and a single multimedia container from the matroska (ex-mcf) team, so there is no branching here, but integration |

As avih cant really contribute to the project for the time being ( i know he will come back !! ) i was offering help to DeXT about developing the XCD Dshow filter to support the new general backup structure for OGM and MP4, but unfortunately our main DShow developer, Jan 'kromyx' Schlenker, cant work a lot on our parser and hardly has any free time to work on that. I will personally try my best to make both projects a success .. |

That would rock. Gee I can't wait.
The Riff-cdxa filter never worked on my 'puter and it did get me quite frustrated. But huh here is good news. P.S. sorry for having all mixed up.

Yes it hurts to see how much effort and coding time from various good people is being put into overcoming the limitations of AVI/VfW, instead of helping us to build something new, better for the future. Please note that i am not talking about matroska alone. Many of the work we do could be used for other containers also ( Ogg Theora, OGM, etc. ). Its like everywhere, as soon as its out and people can get their hands on it, interest may rise. Before nobody cares and makes his own thing. BTW : libmatroska 0.02 is out since yesterday. EBML part is completey finished and some important matroska elements are defined. One more week and we may be able to start alpha testing with Virtualdub_matroska and matroskaparser.dll . Thanks to the work done with old libmcf before we may have XviD/MP3 and XviD/Vorbis in matroska before February is ending ..... |

any ideas for when the first usable version of matroska will be released? by "usable", I mean that you can actually put audio/video into the container, and play the file back in a player. thanks!

libmatroska has reached a usable status for encoding/muxing yesterday, it was uploaded to CVS and Suiryc was informed that he can start implementing it into VdubMod. robux4 will finalize the decoding part now during the next days and matroskaparser.dll will be updated.
Plans are to - release the libmatroska library publically, in compiled versions for all supported OS ( Windows, Linux, MacOS ), after decoding part was added. This has only value for developers wanting to look at it, not for the potential user - test matroskadub and the matroskaparser in a small alpha testing group, at least until we can say its more or less bugfree - release matroskadub and parser as Beta then. By that time you will be able to use matroska as a real container format, as the basic specs shouldnt change than anymore - merge matroskadub with standard VirtualdubMod - motivate more developers ( Gabest, DexT, avih, Zenitram, DarkCracker, Koepi, EmP3R0R, to name only a few ) to support matroska in their tools, so it can get widespread use - implement all the missing, but specified features such as * chapters * menues * tool to add flexible EDC/ECC for perfect mode2 form 2 support * MPC support ( Http://corecodec.org/projects/mpc ) * Block reordering/file optimization tools * USF support ( http://corecodec.org/projects/usf ) * add UCI interface to all important codecs * add MPEG2 video muxing/storing support ( strip MPEG container ) * create a generic UCI wrapper for VfW and ACM codecs * implement UCI interface into matroskadub/VdubMod * add UCI calling capability to matroskaparser etc. Still a long way to go, and it will certainly take little a while until we can offer the same functionalities as OGM does currently, but the basic file support could be here until end of february, as robux4 was pointing out above ...

I've been watching over mcf/matroska since a year now and i'm impatient as ever to use it. Keep up the good work guys ! Your efforts are fully appreciated. It's the best time for you when finally results are coming
