MKV to Mp4

[xnoobftw]

Hey i wanna ask is there any MKV to mp4 converter that works offline? Thanks for the help!

You can always download vlc to allow you to watch mkv files, or download a codec which allows all players to play them. Otherwise, I do not believe there is a player.

I'd suggest using FormatFactory, it has not only video coversion options but music, images and a lot more. As for handbrake i'm not sure how it is now, but it has never worked properly for me, I found Formatfactory to be easier to use.

Use that a lot. Can highly recommend it. It does the cleanest conversions with no blocking or artefacts at all.

you have to load the srt file too

The subs are hardcoded (there is no sub files)

Handbrake doesnt get the subs across D: or is there a way to do it? I tried adding sub through the options but it still doesnt work

vlc is on android. not sure about ipjhones/blackberry

The first question should be. Is the container the problem or maybe the codec?

Not too sure but my phone plays mp4 files flawlessly

Its probably the codec than but you can write it into a mp4 container within seconds and look if it plays.

Just download Avidemux, open your video, choose mp4 in the drop down menu, save the file.

Now it writes the video into the mp4 container without reencoding and quality loss.

You'll loose the subtitles since mp4 doesn't support subtitles.

Hmm what about AVI?

Oh boy. You've posted at the right time, as I'm online to answer this question. (although it's been quite some time since converting videos)

The reason I say this is because ever since our 2004 P4 with HyperThreading, I have been collecting and curating media conversion utilities, both free and paid.

I can faithfully say that there are hundreds if not thousands of suites that all look slightly different, yet cost in the $20-60 range.

 

Don't get me wrong - they can and indeed do work. The reason I don't usually recommend them however is due to not supporting that one file format that happens to come from your uncle's cousin's brother's media hounds from the Bulletin Board days of the net. (if these days were before your time, just think filesharing over dial-up)

The tools I've settled on range from free open source software (FOSS) to more professional solutions like DVDFab.

Could you download and install MediaInfo and report back to me a text copy of what it tells you for the particular file you need to convert?

It would help clear up reasons why it's lagging on your phone, even through VLC. If it's too big a file or the bitrate is too much for the Galaxy S3.

Also, I'd recommend keeping it an MKV file even if you have to downsample the bitrate in order to keep the subtitles. As @.spider. stated, containers like MP4 and AVI don't natively support subtitles.

 

If you want to go straight ahead and try converting it, I'd suggest a program called DVDFab Video Converter. Yes, it costs money. No it's not cheap if buying the full suite.

And yes, the free option I would recommend is Handbrake like @officiallyasimulator suggested, as long as you've got the patience to learn. We're here to help too, of course.

The reason I recommend DVDFab is simplicity: The interface is easy to use, I've never in my 8 years using it had it reject a filetype, even when the file appears corrupt in a media player, and it's fast supporting Intel's QuickSync, nVidia's CUDA, and I believe (but am not certain) AMD's cards for hardware acceleration.

Bad choice for h264

There it is Level 5.0 and High10

You have to reencode with Handbrake

How?

How?

I hope I haven't forgotten something

-open-gop is optional can cause problems; probably not

-You may want to use constant quality values between 20-25

-Select the FDK AAC codec

When i preview it it doesnt give out subs but my original file does!

And you added your subtitles in Handbrake?
