GNAA Announces Endorsement of Matroska Container
GNAA Announces Endorsement of Matroska Container

Wenzenbach, Germany - Having found the AVI video format lacking, GNAA decided to search for a hot new container format, for use in releases of all GNAA video, including upcoming subtitled versions of Gayniggers From Outer Space.

GNAA president and A/V wizard timecop immediately turned to the opensource commmunity, the first place anyone would look for high-quality, well-supported software. A few Google searches later, he stumbled across the Matroska container format, and it was love at first sight.

"I've alyways supported open standards, and I was really excited once I found them. [Matroska] It's basically another competing media container format, like AVI, an envelope in 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. As long as they manage to download the libraries and DirectShow filters needed, compile them, and then you're good to go." said timecop. "Of course, you can't demux all the streams in a .mkv, so it's less than worthless, but I mean, this is a format Gay Niggers can really get behind. There are at least 4 developers working on it, and TENS of users release video in .mkv format."

Upon finding that the sole distribution site for the sources he needed was down, timecop delightedly added "welcome ot openfuckingsource." Upon discovering that the latest version of the source wouldn't work properly under Windows, he congradulated the developers on sticking it to "The Man" [Bill Gates], adding "I assumed people around here had enough sense to give up on dead alternative OS's [Windows] around the time BeOS took a trip down the shitter."

GNAA member godspeed added "ROFL. Matroska is developed by Gay Niggers, how can we, the GNAA, not support it? We've been searching for a container format that has the feature that once you put something into it, you can never ever take it back out except for playback, so Matroska meets our needs perfectly. FRIST POST!!!!1one"

Matroska developers were busy writing a multimedia framework for BeOS and not available for comment.

About Matroska

Matroska aims to become THE Standard of Multimedia Container Formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly because it is based on GBML (Gay Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. GBML contains all the useless features of XML in a obscure and overengineered binary format, impossible to parse without obfuscated binary parser libs, and definitely not "human readable". GBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility without breaking file support in old parsers and allows them to push the limits of the gay video frontier. Some of the notable video codecs which have been used with Matroska include "RealVideo9" and "XVID".

Stated goals include creating and documenting a modern, flexible, cross-platform compatible Audio/Video container format, in combination with an open codec API, to form a free and open media framework, as well as establishing Matroska as the opensource alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, and MPG, however due to limited developer time, all current efforts are focused on getting Matroska running under BeOS. "Who needs to use a format everyone can already use, which is well supported by ALL modern OSes? Our opensource shitfest will soon replace the well-established, useful container formats."

The disc size is 12cm, comparable to that of a DVD and a CD.

The key word is COMPARABLE. English. Learn it. Love it. Live it. ;P

Damn straight

Personally, I just want to know when I can buy a burner.

200GB LTO tapes just don't cut it any more. Seriously. Trying to move terabytes at a time with ten or twenty tapes is a real bitch. Never mind relying on I2 to transfer that amount of data in a short time span. A 1GB disc would be a Godsend for those of us doing data intensive applications. --M

Hehehe... I tried your "man woman" thing and got this:

$ man woman
No manual entry for woman

I guess digital coitus is off limits? The real question is: who is doing the manual entry and who is being entered? ;P

Oooh! Yay! I can hardly wait for the VHS vs. Betamax-style format wars to begin!

You'll only need 3 of them

to install Longhorn.

That sounds like the kind of sweet goodness I've been looking for. Now... I just need to upgrade my home network to machines with SATA interfaces.

You RTFA. I didn't. :) So let's blame it on the original submitter and we can both be happy.
