Hi!
This just stroke me. As Matroska is an open-source container, which to that is also gaining more and more ground for every day, it would be awesome with some packer-style support in TotalCmd. For people who do lots of work with media containers, it would simplify life a bit. A simple packer implementation that took care of muxing aswell of demuxing (i.e. "lifting" out certain eg. subtitle streams from an MKV). When the idea struck me, it was mostly the de-muxing part I was thinking about. Eg. I often feel the need to "lift out" text-based subtitles from an MKV. As of today, I then use mkvextract.exe, the more or less official utility. But, it would be really smooth if this could be implemented in Total Commander.
Just my two cents..
Regards~
Suggestion: Matroska WCX plugin!

There is no such plugin (yet?) but this may be used for supporting your external tool:

Oh this is soooooooooooo awesome! 
However.
I must admit my sin that I'm a heavily video encoding addict
Right, mkv ftw and stuff like that, but it is a rather complicated standard. Implementation from scratch will be quite a nightmare, so you'd better start from WebM which is a [considerably] simplified version of the container.
Alternatively, you would have to use external software. In this case either mkvtoolnix utils from Bunkus, or ask Haali to help. The former is famous for his punchline "the bug is confirmed, will not be fixed", the latter for being most elusive developer in this scene ever
You can use something like mkvinfo tool from Bunkus for starters, see what thing are like. Really loads of luck if somebody is going to try!

There is.I'm still convinced that a "lister plugin" for MKV files would be appreciated.
If you want a plugin that plays mkv files check http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=2388&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90
If you need a plugin that would show info about mkv files (quite similar to Mediainfo lite http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/MediaInfo-Lite/1183386892/1 )
Check http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=11467&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=27
do you need a wcx to split the mkv to video+audio+subs or one like avi.wcx that lets you browse avi's like an atchive of bitmaps+audio?
Try MKVToolNix http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/Yes! And for M4V too
if you have the time you (or someone else) might write a multarc addon for mkvinfo.exe and mkvextract.exe or if you're too lazy (like me) you can use MKVExtractGUI-2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkvextractgui-2/
as for mp4 you can use MKVToolNix to convert the mp4 to mkv and then unpack the elementary streams with you guessed it MKVExtractGUI-2
