-MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska audio/video
-container files, just what the OGMtools do for the OGM format.
+Matroska aims to become the Standard of Multimedia Container Formats. It is
+based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML.
+EBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in
+terms of future format extensibility, without breaking file support in old
+parsers.
+
+First, it is essential to clarify exactly "What an Audio/Video container is",
+to avoid any misunderstandings.
+ - It is NOT a video compression format
+ - It cannot be used to compress music or pictures like MP3 or JPEG, as it is not a codec.
+ - It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie in one single file. This ensures that the audio and video can be played in most Media players.
+
+Matroska is designed with the future in mind. It incorporates features you
+would expect from a modern container format, like:
+ - Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP)
+ - Fast seeking in the file
+ - High error recovery
+ - Menus (like DVDs have)
+ - Chapter entries
+ - Selectable subtitle streams
+ - Selectable audio streams
+ - Modularly Extendable
