I'm surprised that there are some people still using Avi... :O

Why wouldn't people? Also, why mkv? I'm out of the pirate scene. JW

MKV files usually come with subtitles, chapters and alternate audio tracks all in one. You can also strip out the parts that you don't want with MKVMerge to make the file size smaller.

Maybe this is a good place to ask this: What exactly are iTunes ready files? What's the difference?

[-] igotchufam1 | 7 points | May 05 2016 16:06:43

I just convert the files I download to mp4 and add the relevant metadata so it looks good in iTunes.

[-] Vepanion | 2 points | May 05 2016 17:05:17

Ah, so it's optimized for importing into an iTunes library

[-] [deleted] | 2 points | May 05 2016 18:02:13

could you explain how to do that for some of the tech illiterate ?

[-] igotchufam1 | 5 points | May 05 2016 18:11:39

Download the file
Open iTunes
File > Add to Library
Select the file you just downloaded

Go to the movies section in iTunes and it should be there.

Can you put the audio info in the titles of your iTunes ready movies? I prefer 1080p with 5.1 audio and will grab that version over others, but I'm never sure if the iTunes ready ones are only stereo audio or are 5.1...

What are the benefits of viewing movies with iTunes?

Which platform are you using? Windows or OS X?

[-] osxing | 2 points | May 05 2016 19:33:47

If its in your iTunes, then you can share it with your Apple TV.

well, that sucks

So, what makes mkv better than mp4? Personally, I can stream to almost all of my devices without transcoding if the video is mp4, but not if its mkv

unless you transcode them, you still have to watch mkv videos on your computer, right?
