Hello all! I've always been a fan of high definition video, I never liked to settle for those 700mb movie files. However lately more and more anything that's high def is and MKV file. This is hard for me to understand, because to the best of my knowledge no systems can really play them. I mean you've always got to convert MKV's to another format just to get them to work. Normally in doing so you increase the file size or decrease the quality. So why pick such a bastard video format in the first place? Am I just getting old, did I miss the memo, what's so great about MKV?

MKV can contain multiple audio and subtitles. It supports chapter points.

Media players are supporting them now, such as the Popcorn Hour.

I run into the same problem here. We have a Philips player upstairs and in the living room that will play xvid/divx on either a dvd or flash drive but won't play mkv's.. I have to convert them to xvid unless I want to sit in front of my computer desk and watch them on the monitor... I prefer the sofa <g>
