Before I show you how to convert MKV to MP4, I will spend a little time talking about what the MKV format is. Firstly, let’s have a quick look at the history of the MKV file, which is also known as Matroska Video file originated in Russia in 2002. Its name is derived from the Russian word for Nesting Dolls, matryoshka. MKV is a popular video container format that supports more than one audio and subtitle tracks at the same file. But it is still far from being widely supported on iOS devices and even computers.

In this situation, you might ask me what kinds of software you can use to play your MKV files. After all, there is a high chance of getting MKV files when you download videos from the Internet. And you may often get them from your friends, business partners, family members, etc. Some of you decide to download the appropriate codec for compatibility, helping your video player understand how to decompress files that it does not natively support. It is an undeniable fact that you get a perfectly viable option for playing MKV files if you are careful about where you get your codecs. But do it carefully for some codecs are notorious for bundling in worse malware.

So why not convert MKV to MP4 instead? The MP4 format file is a much more widely supported media standard that is compatible with almost any platform or device. So it is certainly a convenient and safe solution that helps you watch your videos on your iOS devices. Here you will be given an easy-to-use and user-friendly video converter. Now follow my steps to start video conversion.
