Why do people insist on using this incredibly anoying, remarkably unsupported file container? Is there something I'm missing about it?

Is it really that difficult to rip HD content using H.264/AAC and save it in a widely supported container like mp4?

Serously. What's the deal with .mkv anyway?

Edit: I know how to watch .mkv files on my Mac and PC. I'm bitching about having to convert this crap all the time so I can watch it on other devices.

Edit: Rant/Question combos are bad. Try to just ignore my posts from the first three pages of this three-page thread.
