Video converter mkv to mp4

[Jaypi]

Hi,

I know the are a couple of topics, but no one gives my the result I'm looking for.

I had an app once which converter it in 1-2 minutes.

All the ones you can google need at lest 30 minutes :/

Can maybe anybody help me out??

Thanks
JP

which converter did you use in the past？

That's the question. I can't remember the name!

I just found it, it's iFlicks! It's actually the best video converter I've ever seen!

When you say it converted it in 1-2 minutes, are you trying the same file again, or is this a different file?

The problem is that an MKV as a container can contain various types of video, audio and other data. Not all of these formats can be simply passed through to an MP4 container (quick) as iTunes/iOS devices can't play all the formats, in that case you need to convert (slow) which is what takes the time.

If the mkv is h264 it will just muxed the file to mp4 in 2 minutes or less

Yeah it's the same file. There is not a lot to convert. You just need to remux it and that's the magic trick.
