MKV files can have multiple video streams, multiple audio streams, subtitles and chapters.
This means I can take the titles of a DVD and make them into MKV files while preserving all the nice multiple angles (if any), multiple audio streams, subtitles and chapters.
But what if I want to preserve the menu structure too? Does MKV have any support for menus?
If yes, how can I do that?

From what I understood by reading through the barely-readable text, menu support in MKVs is "just around the corner" (like most things in Linuxland :rolleyes:)
How is that an improvement over MP4?
Open source formats suck. All of them.

Then why were you asking if you are prefering MP4 anyway?

Because the whole standalone support is headed towards MKV. Unfortunately.
