Matroska shouldn't be the the default video container, MPEG4 should be

MPEG4 is usable by a huge variety of devices, Matroska is unfamiliar most people. By all means keep it as an option but change the default to something that will be easier to use for most people.

I actually agree on this one, but I can see that it's pretty subjective. I've added a proposal for a feature that lets you set your own default values , which might help with this issue...as well as many others 😁 Would be interested to hear what you think!

YES! the idea behind mkv is that if the render crashes you can resume from where it stops (can't do with mp4), but who renders important animations as video files right away?
