So I don't feel that it's evil to give them the movie since they only have it temporarily. But they can't transfer the movie back to their computer (last we tried) so they delete it after one viewing. When I say "borrow" it works well and semi-legally because I can hook up their iPad (doesn't work with iPhones) to my computer, load up the movie and away they go. Think of it this way, when a family member with an iPad or iPhone want to "borrow" a movie for a trip, I have a compatible file handy, and dont have to convert each file individually. This way I can get full iOS compatibilty. I'm use handbrake to encode my DVDs into m4v with 5.1 DD and 2 channel aac. I know they were and are still popular since movies can be burned onto cheap CDs and played back on cheap DVD players suck as my $29 Philips.
#Mkvmerge gui 4.6.0 mp4#
I think the MKV crowd mainly uses HTPCs for playback but most mp4 people use PS3, XBox360, AppleTV, Roku, etc. I have no problem with mkv since the video in it is usually compatible with iOS, I just change the container. The main reason is compatibility with ios devices. I convert all of my mkv files to mp4 (m4v specifically). If I use MKV container can I extract the data and produce an MP4? I want to future proof as much as possible (I'm still learning, I've gotten the gist of MP4 video files and advanced encoding but as I have yet to work on my BD rips I put off MKV learning as I was informed MKV is primarily recommended for BD rips).

Should I use MKV containers as they seem to be as close to DVD as possible? Given that MKV isn't supported natively in iDevices I can play them in XBMC on my aTV 2 but I would not be able to on my iPad unless it's JB'en. (Other layers for director's commentary, etc.)Ī lot of advanced tweaks and if I have the srt for chapters I'd import it in HB then use MetaX for tagging. AAC Stereo for iDevices (iDevices default to the first audio track, I can switch the tracks in XBMC) MP4 H.264, Large file size, Constant quality = 18, VFR, FPS = Same as source, Anamorphic = Loose w/ Modulus =16ġ. My goal is to future proof my DVD's as much as reasonably possible. I forgot about MKV = container and MP4 is a video file, I knew that but jumped the gun.
