MKV to MP4 Converter is an app that does precisely what the name suggests; converts MKV video files to MP4. Unlike other free video conversion apps—like Format Factory, or Sothink Free Video Converter—MKV to MP4 video converter focuses on a single task and offers an ease of use that is suitable for beginners.
In addition to the simplicity of the interface, there are a number of advanced features for users with a little more experience, giving more control over the conversion process.
Narrow scope and simple interface
The primary aim of this app appears to be to give the user the simplest possible experience. It doesn’t convert to several formats like some alternatives, but you can convert your MKV files to MP4s with as little as a few clicks and no prior experience. For those who know what they’re doing, there is the option to tweak the advanced settings also.
MKV to MP4 Converter can also make use of multi-threading to increase the typically slow conversion speeds up to 300%. The app will also detect your hardware profile and automatically optimise the conversion process to suit, further improving the conversion times. For longer conversions, there is a “shut down when finished” option, so you can leave the app running.
Limited scope but very accessible
The appeal of MKV to MP4 Converter does not lie in its ability to do many things, but in the ease with which it can do one thing. It is compatible with older computers and lower-spec hardware, which, combined with the fact that the app is completely free, makes it a compelling option for many users as long as its limited scope can fulfil their needs.
That being said, if you need to convert to or from different formats, the speed and accessibility of MKV to MP4 converter will not be of any use to you. It should also be noted that the interface, while simple to use, looks quite dated, though this is a minor issue and does not affect the functionality.
