First of all: do we need another, new, audio video container? Well, before I thought about these things, I didn’t think so…
There are some features which are not implemented (yet?) that could be useful, in particular for movies, and their avid collectors.
Let’s start with the obvious points:
1) It should be open source
2) It must be able to contain every open source audio video subs codecs
3) Everything should be contained in one file

In 1997, George Lucas decided to release a Special Edition of the Star Wars Trilogy (at the time, Episodes 4, 5, 6); the “ultimate version” (even if we all know, now, that it was not the truth…).
