As with HD video and more complex subtitles, the Matroska (MKV) file format is not as widely supported as other formats. Rather than trying to find software to play MKV files, are not we just converting those files? This guide introduces two simple ways to convert a file from MKV to MP4.
Some common MKV files tend to be taken from ripping DVDs and Blu-ray movies, but seeing on downloaded or converted YouTube videos is not unprecedented. The MP4 format, which comes from anywhere, is a widely supported media standard and is compatible with most modern devices. Consequently, conversion of MKV files has problems.
VLC (Windows / MacOS)
The VLC media player can recognize and play almost all video formats including MKV. Better yet, it can also convert them to more universal ones like MP4. The method is as follows.
step 1: Go to the VideoLAN homepage and download the VLC. Please be sure to read the fine print on installation. Then you can not introduce your computer to any kind of blueware.
Step 2: Open the software, media Click on the tab in the upper left corner to select Conversion / Save From the displayed drop down menu
Step 3: click to add Click the button and look for the file you want to convert on the PC. Once selected, Conversion / Save Click the button at the bottom of the window.
Step 4: Please specify your desired video format - in this case, H.264 + Mp 3 (MP 4) - Use the drop-down menu next to it profile. You can also fine-tune the setting by clicking the tool icon.
Step 5: Designate below Ahead Where you want the VLC to export files. Then click start. The timeline changes to a progress bar, and when it ends, the video is ready. Do not forget that the old MKV file still exists. If you do not need old files and want to increase the storage capacity of your computer, you will need to delete all old MKV files when you are finished.
Cloud conversion (Web based)
If you do not want to install the software to convert the file you can use the web service instead. There are several, but Cloud Convert is our favorite. It's simple, because it supports a huge file format.
However, it is important to note that you need to upload the video file to the server. It is clear that Cloud Convert's privacy policy does not refer to files, but it is important to note this point before converting unnecessary things on the open web using services. Cloud Convert deletes the file immediately after conversion is complete.
step 1: Go to Cloud Convert's homepage and upload the file. You can find it through either Select files Just click the button or drag and drop the file into the browser window. You can also import from Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud storage services.
Step 2: Scroll to select a list of video formats MP4. Default settings are fine, but you can fine-tune quality and other aspects as needed. If you are satisfied with the settings, click on the big red. Start conversion Click the button at the bottom of the page.
Step 3: When the conversion process is completed, green download Icon will pop up. Please click on it and download the newly converted video. If you plan to convert files to MP4 frequently, you can download Cloud Convert as a Chrome extension or iOS application.
