THE VIDS ARE ON FUCKING RUSSIAN
DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
works absolutely fine. as stated by the uploader there are two audio tracks per file. however the russian is audio track 1 not 2 which is why on first appearances this may appear to have no english audio :p
if you want to use these files on a console or strip out the russian audio etc - download mkv2vob and set the preferred language to english
