Description
Use case description
Today, the Matroska extractor only supports header stripping (method 3) for Matroska track compression. However, zlib compressed tracks (method 0) exist in the wild, not uncommonly for subtitles (eg PGS). (Google "Muxing mode : zlib")
Proposed solution
Add support for zlib compressed tracks in the Matroska extractor.
