They are both container formats but are not the same. MKV (Matroska)
containers can be nested and contain multiple audio and/or subtitle
tracks, and I think are in some ways more flexible than MP4s, e.g. I've
often created MKV files that contain MP4s (and VLC can play them), but
maybe someone who knows what they're talking about should chip in here.
