Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-23 Severity: wishlist * Package name : matroska Version : CVS Upstream Authors : Ludovic "Blacksun" Vialle Christian HJ Wiesner Steve "robUx4" Lhomme * URL : http://www.matroska.org/ * License : dual GPL/QPL Description : extensible audio/video container format
Matroska is a cross-platform multimedia container format for audio and video data, and aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats. It has support for menus (like DVDs), subtitles, seeking, error recovery and streaming (over the Internet or on a LAN). Note: the Matroska software is still under development, and only provides a demuxer library. I am packaging this because some media players can already be compiled with support for Matroska files. The binary package will be called libmatroska-dev and will contain .a and _pic.a libraries, because upstream foresees many API/ABI changes before a shared library can be released. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux c18 2.4.21-rc5 #2 Wed May 28 22:10:14 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR
