• Matroska DirectShow Filter (v0.3.0), this file will allow you to play matroska files in any good DirectShow host.
  There are some limitations in the filter : seeking is not possible (we'll fix that ASAP), you can't retrieve information being played.
  
• VirtualDubMod (v1.5.1.1a), this is the first official build of the popular Windows video editing tool.
  It already supports all the basic features to mux data into matroska.
  
• The Core Media Player (Matroska Edition), this is a new version of the popular windows player with support for reading matroska files (.mkv and .mka).
  It includes the matroska DirectShow in the package.
  
• mpa2mka (Win32 build), a command line tool to remux any MPEG Audio file in a matroska audio file (.mka).
• wav2mka (Win32 build), a command line tool to remux a RIFF/WAV file with any codec into a matroska audio file (.mka).
• MKVtoolnix, Moritz Bunkus has created these command line tools under Unix to create audio and video matroska files.
  The result is really great and as powerful as VirtualDubMod if not more.
  
• MPlayer, Moritz Bunkus has also created a patch to the developement build of this popular UNIX video player to play audio and video matroska files.
  So far it is the only player to support seeking in matroska ! Get instructions on how to build it for your machine on his site (requires CVS).
  
• libebml + libmatroska (v0.4.1), these packages contain the sources of the library to read/write matroska files.
  There is also a version for UNIX editors of libebml and libmatroska.
  The library is written in standard C++ and can be compiled on many platforms. It has been tested under MSVC6, Linux GCC 3.2, Linux GCC 2.95, GCC 3.1-Darwin (Max OSX). It is licensed under a dual QPL-GPL license.
