I suppose, but 7GB files ripped from DVDs vs 400MB m4v for me
is a no brainer. Matroska is mostly to get multiple video, audio
and subtitle files into a single container. If you care about keeping
Serbian audio and Turkish subtitles, then by all means keep the
mkv and find a player that gives you all that control.
