 # libmatroska
 
+In short, matroska is a new Audio/Video container file format.
+It is an advanced and full featured format.
+
+Advanced because it is based on EBML, a kind of XML equivalent, that allows infinite extensibility of the format.
+And full featured because it includes precise seeking, any audio/video/subtitle codec support including VCM/ACM/DirectShow compatibility, timecode based format, complex frame dependencies, chaptering, internationalisation, error protection, tagging, file attachement, control track (to be defined), menu (to be defined), etc.
+All these features are not yet implemented but already defined in the format.
