How to convert MKV to MP4 for FREE 

Drop us a LIKE 👍

I want to make a small comment here about a common misunderstanding. MKV and MP4 are not video codecs like x264 vs the far more efficient x265 (HEVC). They are containers and could feasibly hold any number of different media streams within them. I have often heard people claiming that one is better than the other which is idiotic as neither has any impact on video quality. In point of fact MKV is generally a more flexible container and is able to hold a greater range of media streams and associated Metadata. As an analogy, it is like two people arguing about whose lunch is better based on the type of lunch box they own.

2 years old but you created something that will help people YEARSSS down the line. You are a hero man. THANKS FOR HELPING MEEEE

Movie.P was you busting for the toilet when making this, fab Tutorial! Brian! 😁 VLC has other tricks up its sleeve too!👍🏻

I rather have mkv than mp4.... you'll lose chapters, multiple audio channels, embedded subtitles, ect. with mp4

Though the mkv file format is open to all; you might encounter systems that do not play or support the mkv extension or container format. In this situations, it is necessary to convert mkv to another system-compatible file format, such as the mp4 file format. It is actually effortless to convert mkv to mp4 using a video converting software like DumboFab Video Converter.

great walkthrough as always 👍🙂

Why need to convert? Both formats are containers, right? Conversion of video formats means to re-encode the video with a different codec.

What is vlc anyway? We use MPC HC with K-lite codec pack for playback and Handbrake to transcode videos. These are the professional ways to do stuff.

Video for RU-vid HD will downgrade a 1080 video to 720. HOWEVER, I noticed at 4:53 there's a setting that says MPEG 4 1080p TV/device. THAT WORKED! Just a little tip.....

I think "Handbrake" can also do that too!!!😁👍🏻

Are you still interested in converting videos? If so, are you interested in knowing more about VideoProc MP4 converter?

Great Video, but please tell me how your 2 hour long video basically instantly converted... im also trying to do this with a 2 hour long video and its taking so long. Any solutions?

Tried it and the VLC output was utter garbage.

Hey man can I please have some help? I’m having an issue with my hard drive. So long story short I sold my old Vega 56 to someone through facebook. He claimed it didn’t work and he opened up a case against me. PayPal told him to send me the card back. I have a 5600x/3060ti combo in my system. My pc has been running great with no issues. Yesterday I get the vega 56 back from the guy and put it in my system and the card works. I put it under load, play games etc. everything is all good. So I take it out of my system and put my 3060ti back in and it just goes to the bios. I can’t boot to windows now and my hard drive isn’t even showing up anymore in the system. I unplugged everything and plugged it back in, cleared the cmos, used different sata ports and nothing is happening. I’m worried that I lost everything on my hard drive because I haven’t backed it up recently. I took the hard drive out of my system and the fan inside of it is spinning but no matter what I do it isn’t being read in my system. It’s doing exactly what yours did in the video with the asrock motherboard where it just boots to the bios and won’t let me into windows. For me though the hard drive was my only drive so I lost everything. Is there any way to fix this?

VLC IS THE BEST AND SO ARE YOU BRO!

Never worked for me!, Tried several times with several Movies but once the process was completed the movies would still be in MKV format??

Great thanks for that was looking for a way of doing this

Britec09 - Others on this thread tried to help me with my problem but were unable to find a solution. Do you have any ideas of how to convert a .SNX file to .MP4?

How is London Nowdays I donot need to convert the video just update VLC and it will work

the thumbnail is kinda funny

I like Format Factory.

Very easy way to do and most people already have VLC anyway.

Thank you.

I use Handbrake to reduce the files then have to use something like VLC to convert it. I want one tool that does it all. LOL

I use Filmora.

Any idea how to convert a Canva presentation file into MP4.

Can it also put Subtitles while converting it to mp4?

It's not really a conversion, it's a reboxing.

I watched your video and followed along on my computer but the file that VLC created for me was only 1 kb in size and non-usable. The file I'm trying to convert to MP4 is a .SNX file which is the type of file created by Uniden security cameras. So far, I can only view them on the Uniden monitor that came with the system. Do you know how to convert a .SNX file to ,MP4?

You mean people do not have VLC?

Format Factory! Thank me later!
