How to Convert MOV to MKV With Free MKV Converter

MKV file is a Matroska file for Videos with audios and subtitles, and if you noticed there are two sentences outstanding at the MKV official homepage: “It is NOT a video or audio compression format (video codec); It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie or CD in a single file.” In simple words through my understanding, it’s saying the format significantly features combination-only and envelope without file internal structure rebuilding and data recompressing. In other words, it’s a pure multimedia container format just as I mentioned above.

  1. Download and install the free MKV converter and launch it.
  2. Click Add button and highlight the MOV file before Open button clicked to add the MOV file you chose.
  3. Select the destination folder you are going to save the MKV file with Browse pressed.
      • If you want to attach any other file into the output MKV file, there are also some options to do it. Cause the MOV format doesn't support subtitle adding, we chose a subtitle file for the trial. Going into the Attachments tab to add the attachment by clicking Add button. And never forget choose a file type under MIME type for the attachment.
      • Of cause you can merge more other files as output, just press the Append button to repeat steps above.
      • You can also choose to split the output file with huge size inside into more little ones. Just press into the Global tab, and select a proper size option under ...after this size after activated the Splitting section and Enable splitting....
  4. Right now, you can start converting MOV to MKV by click Start muxing button.
