.# Abstract
This document defines the Matroska codec mappings, including the codec ID, layout of data in a Block Element and in an optional CodecPrivate Element.
{mainmatter}
Matroska aims to become THE standard of multimedia container formats. It stores interleaved and timestamped audio/video/subtitle data using various codecs. To interpret the codec data, a mapping between the way the data is stored in Matroska and how it is understood by such a codec is necessary.
This document intends to define this mapping for many commonly used codecs in Matroska.
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.
This document inherits security considerations from the EBML and Matroska documents.
To be determined.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
