Video To MKV Converter

VideoToMKV is a comfortable software program to convert various video formats into the Matroska container format (mkv). The program utilizes the ffmpeg library for the conversions. New videos can be easily added to the application by drag and drop or a file browser. The videos that have been added are then displayed in the main interface. The only other controls available in the interface are located in the header menu at the top.

Here it is possible to change the output directory and video bitrate before the queued videos are processed. Advanced users can edit batch files with advanced settings that are located in the program’s installation directory. These batch files contain the default configuration for the video to mkv conversion. The standard settings produce great results but advanced users might want to tweak the settings further to improve the quality of the output further.

Video To MKV will automatically detect several subtitle formats (srt, idx, sub) which are then automatically embedded in the mkv file that is created. The software program supports multiple audio channels as well.

Video To MKV is an easy to use program. All it takes to convert videos to the mkv format is to drag and drop them into the interface to process them one after the other. Advanced users can tweak the settings in the supplied batch files. Not the most comfortable way of editing the video conversion settings but better than no options to tweak them at all.

The software is available for download at the developer’s website. It is compatible with most versions of Microsoft Windows and does not need any additional software installed to function properly.

   I think that easy conversion from MKV to AVI (for example) is more important question: there are many video players which support AVI but not MKV.

   I must say, mkv is a new one on me.I see Format Factory supports conversion to it ( & I surmise, from it ) but I have never had need of doing so. I am no video expert by any means, though.

   .mkv format is pretty popular on .torrent sites.

   There are some hardware devices supporting it too, – I saw it mentioned in some “network media tank” specifications.

   Because you can have multiple files (video, audio, subtitles) to one mkv file. mkv is a container.
