.mkv video file, quicktime plug-in? conversion?

[speakerwizard]

Hi, i have a video which is a .mkv off of a pc friend of mine, i have never encountered one before, vlc plays it but i need to convert it to mp4 or something else a bit easier to work with. So, is there any quicktime plug-ins anyone knows of or another way of converting??😕 help me lol

Wow...I read that as "think ill convert to windows." 😀

I don't have any experience with .mkv files, but does this thread help at all?

you can also use VLC to play the file if you don't need to get it into itunes or use it in quicktime.

He stated that in his original post. 🙂
