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

What, does each one contain another, smaller, file?

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.

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

yes, it's named after the dolls.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Nope. Handbrake won't open it.

Omnis, try MPEG Streamclip:

Nope. Says unsupported format.

Well, at least I can watch them on the Mac. It's just that screen is so pretty in the living room. Thanks for the tips.
