Something to note. The time bar across the bottom is not the time it will take. It will show the length of the video, for instance in my case a 20 minute MKV. The progression is where it is in the video at that moment. For me it took almost 50 minutes to convert to MP4 that 20 minute video. I had closed everything else I could see that was open and went in the background and ended all tasks that didn't need to be running to see if that helped, but not by much. The output did have sound for VLC. I had problems with other software having no sound in the MP4. Why it worked with this one and not the others, I couldn't say. I see comments from several that this way of doing it they still had no sound. I'd suggest a google search on VLC MKV to MP4 conversion no audio.

That's fine. However, sometimes there are subtitles in the mkv, and you might want to embed them in the resulting mp4 file. It is also possible to do this using VLC, using the "Edit profile" button in the "Convert" dialog. Then go to "Subtitles" and use the respective checkbox.

I've been using VLC Media Player for several years now. It's my player of choice as it seems to play virtually anything that I want to view without any issues. MKV files can be quite large and it's great to be able to convert them into the more common and usable MP4 format. Thank you for the video, it's is very helpful.
@jamesheinrich53382 жыл бұрын
No you have it backwards MP4 files are quite large MKVs have a greater compression rate. When you convert to MP4 you're making the video larger and when you convert to .mkv you're making it smaller while keeping the quality. .mkv is the prefferd format. I'm a video editor and I have made videos and converted them from .mkv to mp4 and the mp4s were always bigger. That's why when you download an mkv it 654 mbs and when you download and mp4 it's 1gig. Unless it's like a blu ray file or something mkv is always smaller.

For the more advanced user I would suggest using ffmpeg in the terminal as you can the directly copy from MKV to MP4 without re-encoding. Perhaps a follow-up video using ffmpeg ?

Hi there. Thank you for this video. It helped me to convert an MKV to an MP4, but it was not quite as smooth as it worked for you. What I mean by this is whenever I did the final step, an error message window popped up saying there is already a file there with that name, although I am 100% sure there was not. It converted it to the location I chose, even though the error message made it seem like it did not, but then the VLC windows are hard to close. I need to click "close windows" in the bottom bar several times before it closes. I had to try it many times before I finally got the conversion done.
