Why do people even bother downloading the AVCHD version if they don't know how to burn it? The MKV is higher quality and will play on any modern TV from a USB stick... surely people can work out how to do that!
No it won't. Most things expect USB devices to be formatted as FAT32, and it has a 4GB file size limit.
Funny, from what I heard, FAT32's limit is 2 TB.
FAT32's partition size limit is 2TB. FAT32's individual file size limit is 4GB. This is why you can fit a DVD9 worth of data in standard DVD format onto a FAT32 file system, but not an AVCHD. DVD format splits up the .vob files into pieces, but an .m2ts on a bluray/AVCHD is not. Basically, it would only work if the MKV was split into multiple files that are each less than 4GB, since NTFS and exFAT aren't widely compatible formats (outside of computers).
It's amazing to me that someone would complain that people don't use a flash drive from which to watch the MKV when they haven't even tried (and failed) doing it for themselves.
