That's been my only issue with you releases is i have to reencode to make a disc. So i lose quality :-(
mkvs are meant to have the black bars on the top and bottom removed. I've personally found from experience that removing the black bars also noticably increases the overall image quality of an encode of the same size.
I recommend using a laptop to stream directly onto your TV like I do or get a player like a patriot box office or popcorn hour to play mkvs natively, then you'll get to enjoy the encodes with as good quality as possible without any need for conversion.
