When encoding HD in H.264 be sure to select the proper profile. Most people use the Main profile, which causes a lot of machines to simply lock up because of high CPU usage. Bitrates are too high for the resolution. For 1080p you'd want HiP, but it's not readily streamable by 90% of the population. You might want to look at the XP (Extended) Profile, and live within the means of the bitrates defined for it.

BTW, MKV is a container format, not a codec. It can have any of a number of compressed video formats within it, Divx, H.264, or some MPEG-4 variant being common.
