VLC is a media player but also a tool people often use to convert videos. Things are that there are some questions in forums that when people convert MKV to MP4 with VLC, many get audio only without video. Or, they get video and audio, but the audio is out of synch with the video and the video is not smooth.
You have to know that both MKV and MP4 are just the container and can have various combinations of video and audio files in it. When you have wrong settings on MKV to MP4 with VLC, you would lose video or audio in the conversion. Now, let’s see how to convert MKV to MP4 with VLC correctly.
Convert An MKV File To MP4 With VLC With Video/Audio Keeping
Run “VLC media player”.
From main menu select “Media” > “Convert / Save…”.
On “File” tab, click “Add…” button.
Choose you MKV file. After that, it should be added to the list. (Alternatively, you can drag&drop a file into the list.)
Click “Convert/Save” button.
Select Profile: “Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4)”.
Click on the icon button that has hint: “Edit selected profile”.
On “Encapsulation” tab, leave “MP4/MOV” selected.
On “Video codec” tab, check both “Video” and “Keep original video track”.
On “Audio codec” tab, similarly select both “Audio” and “Keep original audio track”.
Click “Save” button.
In “Destination” selection, click “Browse” button to select directory and file name for you destination MP4 file.
Click “Start” button.
Observe progress bar in the main window as file is converted.
In addition, transcoding is somehow broken in recent builds, this is a known issue awaiting for a fix.
Meanwhile you should use an older version if your new version VLC can’t transcode MKV to MP4.
However, in some specific case, people don’t need to convert anything but just to change container from MKV to MP4.
Get a recent build of FFmpeg and use the following command:
CODE: SELECT ALL
ffmpeg -i input.ts -c copy output.mp4
This will just copy the audio and video streams from the MKV file into a new MP4 file so there will be no quality loss.
