Matroska (styled Matroška) is a project to create a container format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. [4] The Matroska Multimedia Container is similar in concept to other containers like AVI , MP4 , or Advanced Systems Format (ASF), but is an open standard .
Attachments (additional files, such as fonts for subtitles) are only supported in Matroska, [41] MP4 and QTFF. M2TS supports attachments as multiple files in a specific file structure: fonts for subtitles are in .otf files in the /BDMV/AUXDATA/ directory. Interactive menus are only supported in MP4, QTFF, M2TS, EVO and DMF.
