Fastest way to convert MKV to MP4?

Looking for the fastest way to make MKV's into MP4's.


Handbrake does a good job and never fails, but takes longer to convert videos than the videos themselves.(even with higher priorities)
VLC is a little quicker, but tends to make files that are corrupt or plain broken(yes I've used the right settings) and thus wasted that time.

GotSent is a godsend, but it's a picky little bitch when it comes to reading anything outside of its' very narrow scope.(AAC errors, incompatible format etc. even though they're MKV)

Is there anything better? If I lose a tiny bit of quality I don't care, I just need to convert as many as possible as fast as possible.

Any program that doesn't restrict, watermark, or require a paid service would be greatly appreciated.

I won't know you're talking to me unless you reply/quote me.

Most of the time just renaming the format (say something.mp4 to something.mkv) will do, as long as the encoder is the same they will work.

Upgrade your CPU. I don't think you can get that much difference with software.
