You're mixing two different things together here. H.264 is a video codec
that can go into many different file formats (.mkv, .ogm, .mp4 for example).
MKV is a container format which can hold many different video, audio and
subtitle streams among other things.

Yes, yes, I know that. Would you have been happier with
"H.264/Matroska"?

That's not really the fault of the player for the most part, but the codecs
that are installed. The exception would be MPlayer (and maybe vlc) which
has h.264 support built in and doesn't need codecs to play it.

Windows players tend to use a common format for codecs, other platforms
tend to have codecs built for the player.

Anybody know of an H.264/Matroska encoded video sample?
