Convert MKV video file to M4V format on Mac within seconds [for iMovie import]

This helps you edit the video file using iMovie as iMovie directly doesn't support MKV import, so doing this let you import the M4V file. I hope you enjoy this!

[@edwardfenyesgyorgy265]

My dear friend, you saved my ass :))) I recorded several training videos about financial accounting and I could not play the MKV files on this fuckn USD 3,000 iMac :D but now everything is fine! Greetings from Budapest, Hungary and I worked a lot with Indians from company TATA, Chennai and Bangalore :)

[@rajavanya]

Haha, I've pinned your comment, thank you!

[@creamsodacubing-bv3hv]

this is pure gold. i never knew that vlc can do that

[@polyesterrz2337]

It does help, thank you very much! And helping each other is what is needed, you spoke out a high truth, not google! Greetings from Mexico 🎉

[@LetsGetHaunted]

THANK YOU!!!! YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO EXPLAIN IT WELL

[@valdo.raya.816]

Thank you very much! I've been using VLC player for years and had no idea it had the convert option

[@gpittel]

Wait… one… minute… you don’t have to actually re-encode with handbrake, compressor, or a program like that?
Ok I’m back… holy sh*t I can’t believe this actually works. Seems to good to be true. But thank you my man!!!! Huge time saver rather than encoding

[@gmtwj-fye7898]

You are right brother, Google search engine is not what it use to be.
You are very right we have to help out each other.
Thank you very much!!!!!!!

[@DarrylTalks]

Great video, that is exactly what I need to do. All I got was ads for software when I searched.

[@rajavanya]

Yeah Google is filled with affiliate link results in the form of blog and ads. Frustrating.

[@nivedpeddinti6042]

Thank you ...thank you!..You literally saved me bro...i had forgot to change the format while recording on obs..and then i looked on google but nothing was below 50$...u helped me...thanks

[@LeoSajan]

i remember a time where i had to spent the same time as the length of the video to get it converted.

[@Michal_Trzaska]

Thank you very much! Spent 2 days finding solution...

[@zanik2.054]

[@ep.325]

But m4v files cannot be edit on iMovie. You need mov or mp4 so how can i convert my files like this ?

[@tt2lop326]

Thank you so much my bro 👏🏽
You deserve the heaven 🇸🇻

[@manndesai9073]

great explanation, god bless!

[@chadpurser]

What am I doing wrong? I have an 88GB 4K mkv file that is taking hours to write the M4V file. I followed your instructions exactly. Using a Mac Studio M1 Max. I am saving to the same external HDD drive as the source.

Hi, it works great but in a video with 2 audio tracks once converted and play i hear both audio tracks (languages) at the same time. How to exclude/delete one of the audio tracks before conversion ? Thank you

[@mikee2056]

Great video, worked fine for me. Quick Q - If you have a Season of say 10 episodes that you want to convert all to m4v, is there a BATCH process.?

[@rajavanya]

Sorry Mike, afaik, you'll have to do it one file at a time in VLC.

[@mikee2056]

@@rajavanya Appreciate the reply, I have no issues paying for a product that does, I have been looking at Permute 3, do you know of better one?

[@rajavanya]

@@mikee2056 Try Adapter for Mac, it is free and works great. Some reviews say it is better than paid options. It really looks like that.

[@user-cb9wc8ov9u]

doesn't work - after convert new file is "Cannot open file or stream!"

[@rajavanya]

Sorry about that, perhaps it doesn't work for all scenarios. You could try handbrake free software.

[@user-cb9wc8ov9u]

@@rajavanya thank you so much, unfortunately HandBrake does not support audio-only conversion. It is official information. However i found great free software: Avidemux
