It would be useful to be able to dump mkv file to some text (like in \[code\]mkvinfo -v\[/code\]), edit it and reconstruct back, leaving binary data as hex dumps, for example.Something like:\[code\]$ mkv2xml < test.mkv > test.xml$ head test.xml<EBML> <EBMLVersion>1</EBMLVersion> <MaxIdLen>4</<MaxIdLen> <MaxSizeLen>8</MaxSizeLen> <DocType>matroska</DocType> <DocTypeVersion>2</DocTypeVersion> <DocTypeReadVersion>2</DocTypeReadVersion> <Segment> <Tracks> <Track> <TrackNumber>1</TrackNumber> <CodecID>V_MJPEG</CodecID> <Video><PixelWidth>320</PixelWidth><PixelHeight>240</PixelHeight></Video> </Track> </Tracks> <Cluster> <Timecode>5.023</TimeCode> <SimpleBlock track="1" time="5.045"> ffd8fffe001a80......$ xml2mkv < test.xml | mplayer -cache 100 -\[/code\]This can be useful to simplify writing [debugging] tools work with video without actually messing with muxing/demuxing details, just by looking at output.
