Hey so most of the great quality videos you guys have put up are in MKV format which is absolutely great, but a hassle for me to convert to edit in something like premiere pro that I use to make my videos. I'd like to know an easy and fast way for me to convert the files so they retain good quality, and so that I can choose what audio source to convert it with. I've tried using VLC, I cant seem to get it to work based on everything I've researched on, and AVIsynth just takes too damn long. Thank you everyone  , 7. |

MKV is not really a format, but a container. Essential software: MKVtoolnix - mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.htmlThis will mux multiple files (audio, video, subtitles, chapters, covers, etc) into one file. You can add multiple streams into one. It does more than that, but it's mainly used to create the containers. gMKVExtractGUI - sourceforge.net/projects/gmkvextractgui/This will extract said files from MKV and related containers, losslessly. It requires MKVtoolnix. |

I find this quite useful on occasions. It can save YouTube videos and convert the audio into FLAC or other formats, as well as converting whole videos into different formats. It's a bit trial and error until you know what you're doing, but might be worth a try: www.any-video-converter.com/ |

It does more than that, but it's mainly used to create the containers. MKVEXTRACT - sourceforge.net/projects/mkvextractgui-2/This will extract said files from MKV and related containers, losslessly. It requires Mkvtoolnix. Thanks for these! I'm thinking of attempting to improve the audio of some MKV clips here, so these come in handy.
Small correction though: MKVEXTRACT is outdated and doesn't work with the current version of MKVTOOLNIX, gMKVExtractGUI is the preferred option now. |

I use Handbrake on a MAC to convert. Simple to use.

Some .MKV's can just be changed to .AVI if you have too, it does screw with the fps sometimes so its not ideal
