2009 - what's your favorite container ?
The last poll about your favorite container shows that Matroska is still the 1st one for the D9 community with a large majority (more than 65%).
So, what do you plan for this new year ? Keep the same one or switch to a new one ? Knowing that DivX 7 will support mkv files, results might be impressive... |

m2ts for it compatibility with HW players. May be mp4, but 64-bit adressing is not supported by any HW player.
Matroska must die. It is not an option to support this container. Not any HW developer support it. MKV has the same fate as OGM Sorry for my English |

I use mp4 and matroska, depending on what I want to store and where I want to play it.
@Oleg: Plenty of harware developers (TviX, Popcornhour, ect.) support the container and there is probably more to come with DivX7 and Matroska 2.0 around the corner. |

Next, what does DivX 7 bring to us? Next version of the codec and the possibility to pack the encoded video to MKV? Who from HW developers will support these features? And by the way, who from developers have supported DivX HD? Just few NONAMEs... For today we got excellent "industrial" (sorry, I don't know how to say this in English ) codec - AVC, which is supported by Blu-Ray standard. And we got some good containers, which are forced by mainstream developers - m2ts and mp4. So, DivX 7 and MKV support can be the same fail as DivX HD Sorry for my English |

with decoding process.
In example - we got commercial h264 and freeware x264. So, my HW player can decode a h264 encoded video and a x264 encoded video. You said Quote:
We are talking about codec now, not container. |

Of course a player will need to support the MKV container too, as DivX 7 will use the MKV container. If your player doesn't support MKV you will need to remux the file produced by DivX 7 before you can play it. And last but not least you must not forget about level/profile restrictions: If your player doesn't support at least the H.264 profile/level used by DivX 7, then playback won't be possible...

I'm guessing a short discussion about a comparison between MP4 vs MKV isn't OT.
I'll go first with a general comparison from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...tainer_formats So I've got a few questions: 1) MP4 now supports AC3 (although Wikipedia hasn't been updated yet) but what's preventing it from supporting other formats as well? 2) In light of Wikipedia's inaccuracy wrt this comparison, could someone post the differences between MP4 and MKV in bullet point form or provide a link to a recent comparison please? 3) For those who vote MKV, what application do you use to edit MKVs frame-accurately (completely lossless, of course)? (And I'm not referring to workarounds discussed in this thread). MP4s can be edited "pseudo" frame-accurately using MP4Box with Cut Assistant. And before LoRd_MuldeR jumps in and starts the Avidemux marketing campaign, unless I can see a fully working, bug free version of Avidemux that handles MP4s and MKVs the way VirtualDub handles AVIs then Avidemux isn't ready for prime time yet. 4) Although DivX 7 officially supports MKV, does that mean it offers no support for MP4? 5) Windows 7 will have native support for H.264/AAC but is it limited to MP4 or includes MKV as well? MKV as a future-proof container with it's "universal format for storing common multimedia content" intention makes it better than MP4 especially since it uses EBML, which is a simplified binary extension of XML. |

I think the poll should be multi-choose

Once again, I vote for Matroska. But I'm more of a different containers for different uses type, and depending on the situation I'll use the one that has the best fit. For my purposes, though, that'll probably be MKV.
