Well, if I'm just watching stuff, mkv is great. VLC likes it and it's pretty and I have a one-step ripping option for it.
As for vidding, though, I'm not sure. I've got the CS6 version of Premiere (and probably won't be upgrading anytime soon, because I think all the newer versions are subscription rather than purchase), and I made a vid fairly recently (read: in the last two years) without a problem. I don't recall, though, if I used mkv source or if I converted it somehow.
I'll definitely keep your experiences in mind for future vidding forays.
