MKV converters

MKV (Matroska) is an open, flexible video container. One MKV file can hold one video stream, several sound tracks in different languages, many subtitle tracks and chapters, which is why it is popular for films, recordings from OBS Studio and TV recorders. Phones, iMovie, Premiere and many smart TVs and upload forms do not accept MKV files, even when the video inside is ordinary H.264.
