How to Convert MKV Files to MP4 on a Mac

Download the installation file for Movavi Video Converter to your hard drive, open it, and install the program.

Locate the files you want to convert on your device by clicking Add Media in the upper left corner, selecting Add Video, and choosing the video or videos that you want to convert. If you want to use SuperSpeed Conversion, your MKV files will need to be encoded with H.264 or MPEG-4 codec. Without these file formats, you cannot use SuperSpeed mode for your video conversion.

Open the Video tab and find the icon associated with the format you want to use. Since you want to convert MKV to MP4 on a Mac, you will want to select the MP4 icon. You will then see a list of MP4 formats. Choose the one that best meets your needs. The preset with the SuperSpeed icon will convert fastest, allowing you to view your video more quickly. As you convert your MKV to MP4 on your Mac, however, make sure that you choose the format that best fits your needs.

By default, all converted files are stored in the Movavi Library folder. If you want to use a different folder, click Save to and locate the desired folder on your computer. Click the Convert button to start the process. Since the Movavi app supports one of the fastest video processing technologies, your files will be converted in no time.

Select File, then choose Convert / Stream. Click the Open Media button to upload your file. Choose the MKV file that you want to convert to MP4 format. You can also drag and drop files onto the list, which can prove more convenient if you have the file list open in another location.

In the Choose Profile section, select Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4). Click the Customize button if you want to edit the selected profile.

If you’ve decided to edit the profile, go through your tabs to make sure that you have chosen the right settings for your file conversion. This includes:

• On the Encapsulation tab, make sure you have selected MP4/MOV.

• Check the Video codec tab, then click both Video and Keep original video track.

• Visit the Audio codec tab and make sure that both Audio and Keep original audio track are selected.

Your settings can make a big difference in your final file, so make sure you've gone through the settings to ensure that it will convert the way you want it to. If you notice any settings that aren't quite right, fixing them now will save you from having to go back and do it again. Once you've checked your settings to ensure that they fit your needs, click the Apply button.

You likely have a specific destination where you want to save your video file. Select it in the Choose Destination section by clicking Save as File. Then click Browse, enter the file name, select your destination, and click the Save button. To start converting your MKV files, click Save.

Once you start converting, you can observe your progress by watching the progress bar in the main window. This progress bar will let you know how long you have until your video conversion is complete and you can watch the video in your desired format. You can then visit your destination file to watch the video. Now you know how to convert MKV to MP4 on your Mac using VLC.
