But then we're getting a lesser quality mkv by creating an mkv from the AVCHD unlike this where the mkv is higher quality. Why the hate for mkv? It's the perfect format for viewing on media players. Myself I want to watch this on my HDTV and the mkv can easily play on either my media players or my blu-ray player which supports mkv or even my tv itself which also plays mkv.

Then create it from the Blu-Ray instead of the AVCHD....
Right, except then we have to download a full blu-ray and do the conversion, where for this I just had to download the MKV, which has excellent quality yet I don't have to download the huge blu-ray. The mkv is the perfect compromise between quality and file size - much smaller than the blu-ray yet very close in quality. The whole point is many will not want to download a full blu-ray when the mkv would do fine. I don't even have a blu-ray burner so I'd have to download the blu-ray just to convert it and then delete it.

OK, I understand why you would really like an MKV, but I don't understand why you feel others should do the work for you.
Some people haven't upgraded to HD yet and want an SD version of Harmy's project, so what happened? Chewtobacca stepped in and created high quality, no-frills DVD5s for the community. If you think an MKV would be beneficial to people, you should create it and make it available.
