Ignorance on your part is not a reason to switch containers.

They don't work cause the MKV containers change formats more often then I change shirts. I've tried the "geek" solutions (which a lot of the programs just plain crash), and tried the one-clicks (support the original MKV, not the off-shoots that each fansub group is making, nor embedding Aegis subs). Even tried hard-subbing the Aegis file (same result as the "geek" solutions). MP4? No problem, easily do it, even in QuickTime!
The reason behind this is simple: Most fansub anime cons (AnimeFest is a good example) rely on a simple premise that if they can make a DVD or Divx/Xvid out of the files they get, they show them. One thing I've not seen there is anything put in MKV, thereby never gets shown to anyone. That leaves a smaller group that "mistakes" upon it. Basically, why support a container that has a hard time being converted by all but the ones who love the "high quality?" (As I said, Divx/Xvid is really good if you do it right). I just ask that people be wary of MKV, lest they solidify a format around the container.
