Look, if you want to watch isos on your computer instead of burning them, all you need to do is have virtual clone drive and mount the file (OSX/Windows 8 have native iso mounting), which takes one click.  Windows Media Player 11 will then automatically launch the video once it is mounted.  It doesn't get easier than that.  (Alternatively, you could right click on the file and uniso it with 7zip or your zipping software.) AVCHD has NATIVE OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT on Windows and OSX AND all set top boxes.  MKV is not a universal standard like AVCHD is.

Harmy if you want to cater to laptops release an MKV.  If you want to cater to Home Theaters release an AVCHD.  It makes no sense in the world to release the exact same audio/video stream twice in two different containers just because a couple stubborn users refuse to remux a file.

No, it's easier to download a file and play it in a media player on your computer than to wait for your computer to remux. 

It takes minutes to remux the file.  You only have to do it ONCE and then you will have an mkv file forever.  We are talking about adding 5 minutes to your download time.  The entire premise of this project is patients and getting it right.  Saving you five minutes of remuxing does not justify creating twice the workload for harmy to maintain every time he releases something.  I am talking about a long term policy here.  If he releases an avchd and mkv he would be doing so for the 8gb and 25gb copies, for all three movies.  You are now asking him to upload 200 gigs to the internet every time he updates his trilogy instead of 100.
