New Comix

Matroska is a cool innovation, I like the way you can have multiple subtitle tracks associated with the multimedia content. This really internationalizes media data. Unlike DVD’s primitive VOBs, the subtitles are time/frame-coded content (rather than bitmaps), and so can be indexed and searched. I expect this approach to be combined with OCR and pattern recognition and the CBR/CBZ scanned comic interchange format to provide comprehensive, indexed, localised comics very shortly.
