Good program for converting MKV's to MP4's?

[Gravemind]

Yes yes I know I know MP4's aren't as high a quality. Just saying that now, I know.

 

What's a good, free program I can use to convert MKV to MP4? With the ability to choose which audio and subtitle tracks?

I used to use GOTSent but it's a buggy mess that flat out refuses to work sometimes.

 

Something without an annoying trial period, you know the kind where they only let you do 5 files for free and/or they put in Watermarks etc.

.mp4 isn't inherently a specific codec moreso it is a generic container, like .mkv is.

Dude above me basically answered the question, but do you genuinely need to convert the file?

...yes?

I wouldn't be asking I didn't need to convert something.

tl;dr a tv show my mother wants to watch but they're all in MKV, the Xbox 360 that is now a Netflix/DVD machine can't do MKV's so MP4's it is.

Ohh, okay.

Yeah, just use Handbrake and play around with settings that you find sufficient.

Sounds like someone's asking how to violate copyright law again...

Couldn't you use something like UniversalMediaServer for that? The streaming PC does all the decoding while the 360 receive the image. Sound like a waste of time to manually convert everything all the time.

Can't. I don't have a home internet setup technically.

I used a phone hotspot and some hax for almost-normal desktop internet.
Long story why, but converting things then putting them on a flash drive like a caveman really is my only option.

How? For one, it depends on local laws if for example converting your own bought disc collection to digital is against copyright laws or not. And two, unless its specified in question, we can't know nor should accuse anyone.
