'''Matroska/матрёшка''' is an extensible open standard audio/video container format for various video and audio codecs. Matroska is based on [[EBML]], a binary variation of XML. It's aim is to replace the ageing [[AVI]] format and be a powerful alternative to other container formats like [[ASF]], [[MP4]], [[MOV]], RM, MPX and [[Ogg|Ogg/OGM]]. It can store Audio Only, Video Only, or both, and is free for personal use.<br />

=Features=<br />
<br />
Matroska has all the features you would expect of a modern A/V Container including:<br />
<br />
* Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP)<br />
* Fast seeking in the file<br />
* High error recovery<br />
* Menus (like DVD's have)<br />
* Chapter entries<br />
* Selectable subtitle streams<br />
* Selectable audio streams<br />
* Modularly Extendable<br />
* Sophisticated Tagging<br />
<br />
The current official tool for creating a Matroska file (available from Matroska's [http://matroska.org/index.html Home Page]) supports the following audio and video codecs:<br />
<br />
<br />
==Audio==<br />
<br />
* [[MPEG]] Audio 1, 2, 2.5 Layer III<br />
* [[MPEG]] Audio 1, 2 Layer II<br />
* [[MPEG]] Audio 1, 2 Layer I<br />
* [[PCM]] Integer Big Endian<br />
* [[PCM]] Integer Little Endian<br />
* Floating Point, IEEE compatible<br />
* Dolby [[AC3]]<br />
* [[DTS|Digital Theater Systems]]<br />
* OggVorbis<br />
* [[WavPack]]<br />
* [[FLAC]] (Free Lossless Audio Compresion)<br />
* Realmedia Audio Codecs (including Real Audio 1, Real Audio 2, Real Audio Cook, Sipro Voice Codec, Real Audio LossLess Format, and the Sony [[ATRAC]]3 Codec)<br />
* [[AAC]] Audio (including both LC AAC and HE AAC)<br />
* QuickTime Audio Codecs<br />
<br />
==Video==<br />
<br />
* MPEG4 ISO Profile Video, i.e DivX 4/5, XviD, FFMPEG (including Simple Profile, Advanced Simple Profile, and Advanced Profile)<br />
* Microsoft MPEG4 V3 (and derivatives, including DivX 3, Angelpotion, SMR, etc. V1/v2 covered in VfW compatibility mode)<br />
* MPEG1<br />
* MPEG2<br />
* Real Video (Real Video 1.0, Real Video G2/G2+SVT, Real Video 8, and Real Video 9)<br />
* Video from QuickTime files (including the Sorenson and Cinepack codecs)<br />
<br />
<br />
==Extensions==<br />
<br />
* MKV - File containing at least one video stream and possibly audio and/or subtitle stream(s).<br />
* MKA - File containing at least one audio stream and possible subtitle stream(s).<br />
* MKS - File containing at least one subtitle stream.<br />
