MIME type for Matroska Video/Audio #43

@codedread

Description

@codedread

WebM videos support VP8, VP9 and Vorbis, Opus. WebM is based on the Matroska container.

I have seen some Matroska video/audio files out there (.mkv) that have different audio and video codecs in their streams (for example: h264, dts).

  1. What should the MIME type look like for Matroska (not WebM) files? I have seen video/x-matroska and audio/x-matroska
  2. Should the codecs information be include in the full MIME type (RFC6381)? I have seen examples of this: "video/x-matroska;codecs=avc1"
