When not to convert MKV to MPEG

- Flatten transparency first: MPEG has no alpha channel, so composite MKV over a background color.
Limits
Starting point: MKV - Multi-track container for video, audio, subtitles. Only the selected tracks carry over, so pick audio and subtitles first. Interlaced sources may need deinterlacing for clean playback. Encode MPEG (MPEG-2 / MP2) from MKV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.

Conversion runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WASM. Files never leave your device.
