What you get

You get more compatible video files without losing picture quality.

You can turn MKV videos into MP4 files that more players and devices accept, without losing picture quality. MKV2MP4 copies the video rather than re-encoding it, so you avoid the wait of a full video conversion. You can process hundreds of files through a queue instead of starting each conversion separately.

You choose whether audio conversion favors speed or broader compatibility, or set custom audio handling. The fastest option isn't suitable for iOS devices. If your source includes surround sound, you can create files with 5.1 playback on supported devices, including Apple TV. Most subtitles are supported too.

You still need to account for your playback device's limits: the app doesn't reduce video resolution or make unsupported video formats compatible. You select one audio track, with an optional surround version in the same language, rather than retaining every track.

  • Keep your picture quality

    You get an MP4 with the original video data, avoiding quality loss from video re-encoding.

  • Convert a whole batch

    You can queue hundreds of MKV files rather than handle each conversion individually.

  • Choose playback compatibility

    You can prioritize broader audio compatibility or faster conversion, depending on where you'll watch.

  • Keep surround sound

    You can get 5.1 playback on supported devices, including Apple TV, when your source has a surround track.

Best for

  • You need MP4 copies of MKV videos for broader device compatibility
  • You have hundreds of MKV files to convert
  • You want surround sound playback on Apple TV

Skip it if

You don't need it if your MKV files already play where you want, or if you need downscaling or every audio track preserved.
