btw , and what about mkv support in mencoder ?

the existing doc wrote 

The AVI container is the native container format for MEncoder, which means that it's the one that is best
handled, and the one for which MEncoder was designed. As noted above, other container formats are usable,
but you may experience problems when using them.
As you can see, libavformat allows MEncoder to mux into a considerable variety of containers.
Unfortunately, as MEncoder was not designed from the beginning to support container formats other than
AVI, your should really be paranoid about the resulting file. 

Are there any problem to x264-encode in mkv with libavformat ?
Does avi still the best format for mencoder ?
