Audio-only container delivery: how RMI becomes MKV

RMI audio is what actually exists here, and it gets encoded straight into a MKV media container. No artwork or motion is invented, so the resulting MKV file can carry no meaningful video stream at all. RMI wraps MIDI events in a RIFF container; the reader extracts the event stream and tempo map rather than treating the file as PCM audio. Matroska delivery can retain multiple timed tracks, languages, subtitles, chapters, and attachments, though simplified writers and browser players may use only a subset.

Decoded from MIDI event data wrapped in a RIFF Resource Interchange File Format structure. Encoded to a flexible Matroska container capable of multiple audio, video, subtitle, and attachment streams.

What the RMI source carries and the MKV output demands

RMI

What can fail when RMI audio format is interpreted

Some MIDI tools reject the RIFF wrapper, while audio rendering still depends on external instruments and sound banks.

MKV

What Matroska video cannot safely promise

A simplified conversion may keep only primary streams, and many browsers do not play MKV directly.

ENGINE

How the MKV writer handles this route

The verified MKV profile uses H.264 video and Opus audio when those streams are present.

Checking the MKV result before you trust it

BEFORE

Record the RMI evidence before conversion

Verify RIFF-MIDI recognition, tracks, tempo, programs, controller events, duration, and synthesized instrument mapping.

AFTER

Test the MKV file in its receiving workflow

Inspect the stream list, subtitles, language labels, chapters, seeking, and sync.

When to actually choose RMI to MKV

This route only makes sense when the destination workflow explicitly wants audio wrapped in MKV - It does not generate a music visualizer or a slideshow.

What changes between the RMI model and the MKV deliverable

MKV can hold a timed animation, but RMI has no frames to give it; expect a single still frame unless more source material is supplied.
Treat RMI-specific metadata fields as optional in the MKV result until you have actually confirmed they survived.
