it's a shame that we still need VLC.

I agree, but the various "scenes" resolutely refuse to adopt industry standards.

x264 isn't a standard?

[brigade]

No, it's a program that encodes video.

H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 Part 10 is the standard that describes the video format encoded by x264.

[wmf]

Nope, H.264 in Matroska is not a standard.

[voltagex_]

The TV scene people now use H.264 in MP4.

That's only for SD releases; HD still use the MKV container
