I did decide that I wanted the very best quality by sliding the setting to HQ. That’s what you want to use because there’s no magic here you can’t get a 4K video from a 1K (HD = 1920×1080) source. Notice the (relatively subtle) green “Recommended”.
I simply dragged and dropped the MKV video file onto the main area of the screen and within a second or two, the program pops up a window with some options regarding target resolution and settings:

I grabbed a copy of WinX HD Video Converter and upon launch it’s pretty darn easy to figure out how to proceed: The original file is 3.79GB in size and is in, no surprise. To test out WinX HD Video Converter, I used it to convert a three hour MKV video. If you’ve got a fast, modern computer with lots of memory, it can be astonishingly fast (10 minutes for a 2 hour video!) but even if you’re running on last year’s budget purchase, it’s still considerably faster than the 1:1 time you might expect. Super frustrating!Įnter WinX HD Video Converter, a simple and highly effective program to convert any MKV video file into MP4 at the push of a button. You know the drill, you double-click and after a minute or so, the video player program complains “can’t open file” or “unknown format”. Which is all well and good unless your computer can’t open up the MKV file and read the video or audio contents therein.
It’s also not a compression format or codec, per se, but rather a container protocol that allows you to put other file formats “inside” the MKV file. The format was created by a team of Russian programmers all the way back in 2002. MKV is known as “Matroska Video” (named after Russian nesting dolls, known in Russian as matryoshka). The three most common video formats are probably MP4, WAV and MOV but it’s not uncommon for me to end up wanting to watch a video that’s in MKV format.
