Hey everyone, it’s Matt! Today, I’m going to show you how to convert MKV files to MP4 using a free app called HandBrake.
First things first, you can download HandBrake from handbrake.fr. It’s available for Mac, Windows, and Linux, so no matter what system you’re on, you’re covered.
I’ll drop the link in the description below for you to easily find it. Once you’ve got HandBrake downloaded and opened up, you’ll see a prompt to open a source.
If that doesn’t pop up, just click on “Open Source” in the top left corner. I’ve got a folder with some videos I’ve been working on, including an MKV file that’s one of my YouTube videos.
Select your MKV file and hit open. Now, you’ll see it in the source window.
The good news is that MP4 is the default format, which is exactly what we want. You could also choose MKV or WebM, but since we’re converting from MKV, we’ll stick with MP4.
HandBrake is super powerful, and you can tweak a lot of settings here. You’ll notice tabs for dimensions, filters, video, audio, subtitles, and chapters.
If you’re just looking for a straight conversion, I recommend sticking with the default preset options. For most of you, unless you need to adjust audio or frame rates, just keep everything as is.
My video is 4K at 60 frames per second, which is a bit unusual, but I’ll show you how to keep that consistent. Click on the video tab, and you’ll find the frame rate options.
Most people will be working with 30 or 24 frames per second, but I’m going to set mine to 60 to match the original. Now, let’s talk presets.
I suggest going for one of the fast options. If you have a 4K video, the fast preset is perfect.
If your video is 1080p, you might want to choose the one labeled “fast” instead of “very fast.”
Once you’ve picked your preset, make sure everything else is set up. Down at the bottom, you can change the file name and the save location by clicking “Browse.” I usually save mine to the desktop, but you can choose whatever folder works best for you.
Everything should be good to go! Just hit “Start” to begin the conversion.
Depending on your video size and your computer’s speed, this could take anywhere from a few minutes to longer. When it’s done, you’ll see where the output video is saved, and you can find your new MP4 file there.
I hope this video helped you learn how to convert MKV files to MP4 using HandBrake. If you found it useful, give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more tips like this!
