Ok, it doesn't support multiple subtitles, the standard does not support 
AC3, and neither chapters. Some proprietary container creators .. (Nero) 
use what is called 'user space' but as I said, it's proprietary like 
subtitles and chapters in Acis (OpenDML changed some things). All these 
containers have space for 'stuff' but if you can't play it on any device 
it's questionable. Since matroska has these things as standards you 
don't need a special program to support them - any hardware gadget 
purporting the matroska standard should support them.
