aka Pancakesh.264 video in an .mkv container is my format of choice. It's not as widely compatible as an h.264 MP4 would be, but it lets you keep selectable subtitles and AC3/DTS tracks, and I've found it to generally yield better video quality than .mp4's (why this would be the case, I honestly can't say, it doesn't make much sense to me since the codec is the same).
