MKV is just the container though, what really matter are the codecs and their parameters. Transforming the container (aka remuxing) doesn't require a lot of processing power, and in fact some platforms like Plex will remux an MKV to another format on-the-fly to another container if the player doesn't natively support MKV but otherwise support the codecs used inside with little effort required.

Usenet.

EDIT: I still don't understand the general dislike towards Usenet in this community. Once I took the plunge, I honestly couldn't dream of going back to torrents again. It's just so damn convenient and reliable.

Not to mention fast.

I think it's a bit unfair too, buddy. Usenet with the *arr stack and Jellyfin is such a great experience with all that automation, once you've got it all setup. Mine's setup to preference H265 and 5.1 channel audio, and specific resolution/quality. I mean, yeah you can access much the same content completely for free using torrents instead, but it feels like going back to the steam age now to do it all manually.

You can automate the same way with torrents, can’t you? I mean, you can even use indexers of both types at the same time.

Yeah, you can integrate torrents into the stack, afaik. But due to some technical considerations I don't like to run a VPN on my media server, and in my country you definitely need one for torrents.

Once I got into decent private trackers, I stopped paying for Usenet. That said, it was great for when I was starting out.

various torrent sites.

The question should be: "Where NOT to find movies to download in high quality in .mkv file format?"

You will have an easier time finding quality media in .mkv than not, its one of, if not the most popular formats out there

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

You can download in whatever format is available for any given movie. Often movies are available in multiple formats, especially the popular ones. DM your email address amd I can invite you to a private tracker but only if you promise to keep a good ratio.

Also I'm sure some other commenter is literally going to say "mkv is a container not a format" but whatever, if you want mkvs the movie or show you want has to have an mkv available.

Look for “remux” – that’s the file direct from Bluray. If you need an invite to torrentleech DM me an email address to send it to.

Private trackers

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Thats... like the right place

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Why mkv? Use a torrent site (with ublock, etc) or bring up a streaming site and use yt-dlp
