Convert to MKV when you need multiple tracks, subtitle support, chaptering, or less common codec combinations in a single container.
It is ideal for archival masters, media-library organisation, multilingual releases, and technical video handoff.
For mainstream web playback and easiest consumer sharing, MP4 is usually simpler.
