Maybe related to the FAT32 filesize problems...

Which one will become the de facto standard? ;-). (I know you'll say matroska, this is just rethorical ;-) ). Face it: Xine doesn't support either of them, neither does Windows Media Player. Don't know about mplayer, but since the last debian flamewar I've given up all hope on that one[1]. Concerning tech. details, I've only had a look on MCF some time ago, and OGM (though I only glanced at it). I'll need to have a deeper look before I can give an opinion on which of these I want to use (if any). They're all interesting, but nobody needs 4 additional container formats...
