Default MKV or MP4?

Since there already is a poll for video, I thought I would ask, which of the following 2 do you prefer? I personally like MP4 better, though a lot more anime I have is in MKV (wonders why most fansubs don't use MP4)

Mp4. For fansubbers, I think they're just lazy to re-encode it lol. Me thinks only FrostBite encodes most of their videos into mp4

I prefer Mp4 if only because its an easy format to convert to something else if I want.

MKV is a pain to convert -_-.

MP4 definitely due to the fact that it has a higher compression rate and video quality than most Mastroska (pronounced matroyshka) Videos. The only thing I'd say that Matroska has over MP4 is the interchangeable audio and subtitles.

MKV since Mp4's kind of look weird on my compie for some odd reason. MKV are very clear, I have the option of turning on and off the subs and etc.

If I didn't have to choose from MKV and MP4 I would go with avi (XVID/DIVX) since I can crop it.

I'm more familiar with matroska so .mkv



Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Default Re: MKV or MP4?

Being able to control the audio/subtitles wins it for me.....

Quality can't be something I judge on because most things are either mkv or mp4... I haven't seen the same exact file encoded in the two different ways so I can compare...
