MP4 to MKV conversion FAQ

  • Why might I want to convert MP4 to MKV rather than keeping the original format?

    MKV (Matroska) offers several advantages over MP4 for certain users. It supports virtually any video, audio, or subtitle codec without the licensing restrictions that sometimes affect MP4. It handles multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and chapter markers more elegantly. MKV also offers better support for very high bitrate content, 3D video, and specialized features like lossless audio. If you're creating an archival copy, working with complex multi-track content, or preparing files for home media servers like Plex, MKV often provides a more flexible and feature-rich container for your video.
