MPEG4 Video is the same codec that may be used with MP4 file format! It means we could convert (“repack”) the file to just different container format, rewriting streams as-is without actually converting video or audio – which should be very fast (converting a long movie takes only few seconds) and wouldn’t cause any quality loss. There may be various codecs used, but for the file I needed to convert, Media Player Classic (my favorite movie player, installed with K-Lite Codec Pack) shows following information after selecting File > Properties: Now, each stream is encoded using some specific codec. Each format encapsulates a set of streams, usually one video and one audio stream. To understand this method, first you need to know that media file formats are just containers (for example, MKV is Matroska). Q: “How do you convert MKV files to MP4 files with VLC?”įaced with the problems, I just discovered a way to do this. The converters I’ve tried take forever but I’ve read there’s a really fast way that doesn’t involve completely converting the file.” Looking for a quick way to convert MKV to MP4, I know NOTHING about this process except I have MKV files I want to watch on devices that only take MP4. Don’t know why, tired 32 and 64 and neither will even open.

Do you have a video in MKV file and you can’t open it because some program (like Sony Vegas Pro ) doesn’t support this format? If so, you probably wonder how to convert it into some different format like the common MP4 format.
