Multifile support of MKV on a <video> tag in browsers

[umashankardas]

Hi,
I'm trying to run multiple videos on a browser using the video tag. I'm able to implement this using jquery and switching. Now, I'm aware that MKV is a container format which can store multiple videos, My question is, how do I play the correct video inside the container from the browser?

Do I need to create my own player or, is there an alternative option

This isn't a question that applies to MakeMKV.

First, MakeMKV isn't going to put multiple video streams in an MKV file, and second, this isn't a general "support-for-all-things-MKV" forum.

I'd suggest going to your favorite seach engine and typing in "playing MKV files in a browser".

Thanks for your reply. It was gracious in style.
Just wondering, did you actually understand the question?

Let me repeat it again.

Does MKV File Format allow support for Multiple videos being embedded inside a single file?
One example, is when, we can run a movie in two different languages? How is that constructed? We can switch languages as we choose.

It would be simple, if you could tell me, if makemkv does not reply properly to questions which they dont understand.

Yes, matroska does have the ability to hold multiple video stream, but then again so does MP4. Most players prefer to pretend all video files are just AVIs and the extra abilities are just ignored.

VLC can play multiple videos at once, just not very well. MPC-HC can switch between them.

You'll be hard pressed to find a commercial player that will even acknowledge a second video stream, google won't even allow chapters in their webm files.

It doesn't help that the Matroska specs are a mess, so there's really not a lot of point in taking them too seriously anyhow.
