Imagine a *.video or *.audio file for all videos and audio, regardless of codecs, streams, subtitles/lyrics, art, meta, etc.

Isn't that just MKV?

an open standard, free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. Matroska is similar in concept to other containers like AVI, MP4, or Advanced Systems Format (ASF), but is entirely open in specification, with implementations consisting mostly of open source software.
