If I need a version for a portable device, I'll transcode the MKV into an MP4 container and drop the bitrate down but typically keep the resolution unless the device has a smaller display.

I also stay away from ISO as its a bit more convenient not to have to mount the image when you want to view it. What does mkv offer over other formats? For audio there's wav, mp3, aac, ogg Vorbis , raw, and many others.
Containers are what holds the audio and video streams encoded using the formats above and include: AVI probably the oldest still used container and the most popular by far , MKV the "new kid on the block" but it can do most anything , MP4 yes, it's a container, not a format , M4V same as MP4 with some additional potentials , Ogg, and nowadays WebM by Google.
Newer containers like MP4 and MKV can hold not only the audio and video streams but also chapter markers, captions or subtitle streams, and other data including multiple audio tracks too.
MKV is the "King" in that respect as it offers the most potential for the most possibilities above and beyond all the rest. The downside to using MKV is that not every device out there is capable of reading the container to get the streams inside it. It's becoming more popular but right now the most widely supported native container format is MP4 which is workable on most any device you'll find.
Now, just because the device can read the MP4 container does NOT mean it can decode the audio and video streams contained inside it - that's where you have an issue with format support if you encounter it. That's more common than you might realize but it happens. Today's most popular "video" file would probably be an MP4 with h. That's playable on most anything - but there's multiple levels of potential h. Yeah, it's confusing at times but, best advice is stick to what works for you and your hardware - you're the one watching it, so as long as all your stuff works with the encodings you create, what else really matters?

I like this method because it provides the best video quality original which is important for me when starting with a SD source like a DVD. Joe Average said:. Click to expand SirMaster said:.

Joined Jul 19, Messages 4, The biggest reason I do this is so that I can take any movie that I have and burn it back to a DVD with little to no effort. If you have kids, this is invaluable, as I can just use a portable DVD player for them in the car and let them watch whatever. Joined May 15, Messages 9, Oline61 Gawd.
