Video recordings in mkv format are common on the web due to the fact that they can contain multiple audio tracks and subtitles in different languages. However, on most consumer players, movies in this format cannot be played. To view such films, they must be re-encoded into a different format.
Instructions
Step 1
Install a program to convert video files. These programs are both paid and free. If you are engaged in video filming, recording to discs and video distribution, then a paid converter is best suited for these purposes, which allows you to perform large amounts of work at high speed. If you need to convert videos from time to time, download the free Any Video Converter program from the official website. https://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/. After installation on your computer, run the program
Step 2
Open the required mkv file using the program. To do this, click the "Add video" button, and in the file manager window that opens, specify the path to the video. After downloading the files, information about the converted movie will appear in the program window.
Step 3
Select the downloaded movie with a mouse click and select the format of the future video file. You can reduce the size of the dvd by converting it to one of the many formats that are presented in the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the program window. If you plan to view a compressed movie on your computer, then choose the formats.avi,.divx,.xvid, or.mpeg. If you want to download this movie to the Internet, choose the.flv format, and if you plan to watch this movie on your phone, choose the.mp4 format.
Step 4
Adjust the required video parameters such as size, frames per second, and audio quality (bit rate and codec format). This will affect the size and the reduction rate of the video file.
Step 5
Select the folder into which the converted file will be saved, and then click on the "Encode" button. It will take some time to convert the file, depending on the size of the original movie and the power of your computer. When it finishes, the thumbnail movie will appear in the folder you specified.
