Seems I have some matroska video files
I read this as "matrioshka."
What, does each one contain another, smaller, file?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Potentially an infinite number of them, actually -- one of the defining features of mkv is that the container can hold any number of files, where most formats are limited to just a few each of audio and video in each container file. And, yes, it's named after the dolls.

I feel clever and yet, at the same time, kind of dumb.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

you know what else would be lovely on the iphone/itouch? the ability to click on a link and have it open in a new window.

I think Handbrake may convert .mkv files.

iPhone copy & paste rumors.
Oh pleasepleaseplease!
(Except that double-tapping is already a shortcut for "zoom in on this" so I hope there's more to the gesture than that if this rumor is true.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Handbrake was my first move. It wouldn't open the files.

Are you on a Mac? Try installing Perian first, then try Handbrake.
