Mkv Index
This is the official name for the MKV index. It consists of a list of specific timestamps paired with the exact byte position of the Cluster containing that keyframe.
Many hardware players (smart TVs, Blu-ray players) require a valid index; otherwise, they will not play the file at all. mkv index
An , technically known as the Cues element in the Matroska file structure, is a crucial map built into a video file that allows media players to jump instantly to any specific timestamp when a user seeks, fast-forwards, or rewinds. Without an index, a media player must scan the raw video stream from the very beginning to find a requested scene. This causes severe lag, stuttering, or total software crashes. This is the official name for the MKV index
Note: -movflags +faststart is actually for MP4’s "moov atom," but it works for MKV by shifting the index forward. For MKV-specific cues, prefer mkvmerge. An , technically known as the Cues element

When you skip to 00:05:30.000, the player looks up the nearest CueTime ≤ your target, jumps to its CueClusterPosition , and starts decoding from there.
MKV indexes can be created or edited using various tools, including:
