		thomastjeffery on April 10, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AV1: A new general-purpose video codec MKV has more features than MP4. Whenever I remux MKV->MP4, I lose chapters. Technical superiority is more important than compatibility, especially when you have MPC-HC and VLC that are happy to play practically any format ever.

MP4 also supports chapters; it's probably the muxer you're using that does not implement the feature.

But yes, MKV supports virtually any codec, so that is a big plus. It comes at the expense of support on different platforms.
