mkv (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkv) is an audio/video container format. It is a popular format because it fully supports multiple video, audio and subtitle tracks like DVDs and blurays but in a single file.

At this time not necessarily as it has not been adopted widely. Depends what you intend to use to play it back. Though it will allow you to convert to other formats later.

MKV will work well for you as it is pretty well supported by all media playing software (except media center, but it can be added in some way).
