Al right I got this info from the website asawiki and put it on my blog so I wouldn’t for get it.
So to convert an MKV file to MP4:
- Run “VLC media player”.
- From main menu select “Media” > “Convert / Save…”.
- On “File” tab, click “Add…” button.
- Choose you MKV file. After that, it should be added to the list. (Alternatively, you can drag&drop a file into the list.)
- Click “Convert/Save” button.
- Select Profile: “Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4)”.
- Click on the icon button that has hint: “Edit selected profile”.
- On “Encapsulation” tab, leave “MP4/MOV” selected.
- On “Video codec” tab, check both “Video” and “Keep original video track”.
- On “Audio codec” tab, similarly select both “Audio” and “Keep original audio track”.
- Click “Save” button.
- In “Destination” selection, click “Browse” button to select directory and file name for you destination MP4 file.
- Click “Start” button.
- Observe progress bar in the main window as file is converted.
- After that, my VLC (version 2.2.1) seems to hang in an infinite loop so I have to kill it using system “Task Manager”, but it doesn’t matter – the destination file is already created.
