.# Abstract

This document defines common Matroska Chapter Codecs, the basic Matroska Script and the DVD inspired DVD menu [@?DVD-Video].

{mainmatter}

Introduction

The [@!Matroska] container can be expanded with Matroska Chapter Codecs. They define a set of instructions that the Matroska Player should execute when entering, leaving or during playback of a Chapter. This allows extra features not provided by the classical linear playback of files.

The Matroska Chapter Codecs codec is extensible. So any new codec can be created and support added in players.

Status of This Document

This document is a work-in-progress specification defining the Matroska file format as part of the IETF Cellar working group. It uses basic elements and concept already defined in the Matroska specifications defined by this workgroup [@!Matroska].
