Actually, it only needs the additional work for specific editors that aren't capable of reading mkv directly.

So like I've said multiple times it requires more work, finally you get it.

As for the .mkv if you wish to upload with an unsupported file format go for it. https://support.google.com/youtube/troubleshooter/2888402?hl=en-GB

Now, we've taken up quite a bit of @heather's thread with our discussion on why or why not to use one container over another, and while we all seem to understand the risks and benefits of each, we still do not seem to fully agree. I'm sure we can all discuss this elsewhere, if we so desire, though I suspect that we may have to agree to disagree on some points. Let's leave this thread to its original purpose.

Agreed all @heather wanted was the .flv answer.

Does that really matter if using mkv means you have less chance of corrupt files? It's just a simple remux.
Ofcourse ultimately it's the user's decision, but atleast she knows about the risks now.
