Hi! I personnaly use matroska (mkv) for all my personal videos, since it supports many codecs, multiple audios, multiple subtitles including in vobsub format, which is nice to transcode my DVDs. It's also globaly well supported by all free media players. The main reason I choose it was vobsub support though : character recognition is a shame for most non-ASCII character on linux and manualy editing a whole movie's subtitles was too time consuming. With vobsub support, I just have to rip the DVD's subtitles in vobsub with transcode and add it to the MKV file.
