i understand your question
i guess its because its simply not implemented in XBMC yet...
Think of it like a RAR archive file....
to see whats inside, you need to unpack it, same thing for ISOs...
When the ISO is mounted, then, its kinda like your unpacking the ISO
so you can see whats inside
So, in order to XBMC to be able to do this himself,
it has to unpack/mount the ISO and then go read the .m2ts track...
it can be done,,, its just not implemented yet... not sure its a priority....
oh also, when u said "You are left with a single compressed audio and video track wrapped in a mkv."
not totally true
you can keep 100% video and Audio without compression at all,
you just wrap them in the MKV container..
Video and Audio remains as is
