Thanks for the pointer, but I'm unclear about what problem LibRay aims to 
solve. I've read http://lib-ray.org/reasons.html but I'm still left 
wondering whom will LibRay help? And how LibRay will help more than 
delivering a Matroska file using free software-compatible (if not free 
software-favorable) codecs?

Is LibRay solving a non-problem by pursuing a physical means of conveying 
movie data when the trend seems (to my mind) to be moving toward 
network-based delivery?
