er, that's not the case. mkv is a container, not a video format. while it's probably h264 video in
there, which usually compresses a bit better than xvid/divx for the same bitrate - the file size is
small because it's low resolution/quality.
nothing wrong with that, it's a pre-air. personally, i'm waiting for the hd.
i can 't say for sure this will work for 360 but does for ps3.
grab mkv2vob and convert the mkv to an mpeg. load that mpeg into badaboom (nvidia gpu encoder) and
select ps3 as the source (or xbox360) and it will convert the file to mp4, or whatever format is
supported by the device you pick.
normally, just the mpeg is fine but since this is a homemade half assed copy, the audio will go way
out of sync if you do that, so convert to mp4 and it will play fine. res isn't that bad, and you
can use your devices zoom feature to crop the black borders out.

yes and no. as clearly stated in the title, it's x264 not h264, seems like a minor thing but it
isn't. the file size is directly related to the resolution, which is horrific. if you are watching
on your pc or small sd tv, it's fine.
awesome to get this a week before it airs (picked it up on release day, just hadn't yet commented on it.)
sure, the res is a bit on the lower side but it's from the screener that was sent out from amc, it's like
getting still-showing movies on vhs tapes (ah, vhs...how we don't miss thee.) it's watchable, it's watchable
early...why would anyone complain about that?!
for what it's worth, played perfectly on my netbook using vlc (which plays .mkv files just fine...watched 5
seasons of "the batman" without a hitch.)
