I have muxed a film, documentary and trailer into one mkv file using mmg. I can play the file back fine (using Haali to split) but if I wish to switch between items I have to do so for each individual track i.e switch video, then audio, then subtitles.
Is it possible to associate the tracks in mmg so that haali will switch everything accordingly?
I have done some searches and I can only find questions on how to play multiple streams which I can do already.
In my research I found a link to this blog entry on ordered chapters and editions and I think the answer may lie here but I am trying to get my head round it:

More chapter specs:

Initially I thought I could append the tracks as one file then create editions but you can only append tracks with the same parameters...
I'm guessing I could also do it by linking files but then I could just have seperate files anyway. I'm really looking for a solution where I can embed a video and its extra information together in one file.
EDIT: Looking closer at the list of elements it seems you can specifiy the track to use in a chapter using ChapterTrack and ChapterTrackNumber but I'm not sure of the syntax in the xml file. Can anyone provide more information? Will Haali even comprehend the elements?
EDIT EDIT: Looks like I didn't read the lower section of the blog entry properly which seems to express exactly what I want but using standards specific to Haalii. Is this where ChapterTrack and ChapterTrackNumber now take over? hmmm.
Thanks in advance for any help.
