In my opinion big mistake...
ISO is a CPU/Streamer intensive, and with HD audio and 3D some players will struggle to play without issues.

Just wait when you find seameless branched iso titles.

On the contrary MVC MKV is "ligther" especially with 3D and in my experience it runs with less issues.

I did exaclty the opposite, extract all my ISO to MKV.

I really like the MKV format a lot except that for my 3D titles, my media streamer (The HiMedia Quad Core Q5 4K3D)
doesn't play full 3D MVCs from MKV files. Only ISO. Also, as I just discovered, you can chapter search from the ISO
the old-fashioned way by just hitting the FF and Rev buttons as opposed to the MKV where you need to pull up a menu.
Part of the reason I'm setting this whole thing up is so my lady and I can watch our blu-rays without having to dig through
our DVD notebook (which is a major PITA cuz she never puts stuff back). I just want the experience to be as close to
watching a disc as possible except without the storage issues and unwanted commercials. I don't mind it being CPU
intensive. I mean, that's why I bought this thing in the first place.The unit will be on for a movie or two at a time. I'm literally
not using it for anything other than to replace my blu-ray player. I also took off the top of the streamer for improved air flow.

Same here and playback is absolutely perfect via network on Pi2.



My DTS-MA MKVs and ISOs (2D and 3D) run perfectly over my network. For some reason, however, Dolby Digital TrueHD
MKVs stutter and skip a lot unless you select to playback the standard DD5.1 track. I've tinkered with all my settings endlessly
and can't figure it out so I gave up and went with the ISO route, instead, and it's been fine since.
