How to Convert MKV to MP4 Fast with Highest Possible Quality Reserved?
At the very beginning, you need to download and install the free MKV converter on Windows PC or Mac. It is available on Windows 11/10/8/7 and also in Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
Now, let’s get started for MKV to MP4 conversion.
Step 1: Load MKV source video
Open up the WinX Video Converter on your computer. Take Windows 10 PC as an example. Drag and drop or click the ‘+Video’ button to load your MKV source video. You’re able to import several video clips for batch conversion.
Step 2: Choose MP4 as the output format
After loading, an output profile window pops up, where more than 420 profiles are available. Scroll down to find the ‘General Profiles’, select the ‘MP4 Video’, and click the ‘OK’ button to choose MP4 as the output format.
Step 3: Customize your video if necessary
According to your needs, you can customize your video before converting. Here are some tips for you:
- Tweak video and audio settings: Click on the ‘Settings’ button to enter the parameters adjustment window. Here, you can downscale or upscale the video resolution, change the video frame rate, adjust the video bit rate, convert the aspect ratio of your video and change the audio settings as you need.
- Edit MKV files: By clicking the scissors-shaped Edit button, you are able to trim/cut video, crop video, add external subtitles, and adjust video volume. On the main interface, you can also tick on the box ‘Merge’ to join several video segments into one.
- Select the target track or disable unwanted tracks: On the main interface, click on the drop-down list of video, audio, or subtitle to select your target video/audio/subtitle track or disable multitrack at all.
- Enhance video quality: By ticking on the box ‘Use High Quality Engine’, the free MKV converter can improve the output video quality greatly. Also, you’re able to enhance the video quality by moving the slider to HQ/Slow in the Output profile window. But it will slightly interfere with the video conversion speed.
