find in the following places:

suitable for all kinds of questions.
* The MKVToolNix thread on [Doom9's

suited for in-depth technical questions.
* There's also the IRC channel `#matroska` on the [Freenode IRC
network](https://freenode.net/) where we hang out. The main
MKVToolNix author Moritz Bunkus is known as "mosu" there.
