Upload a MKV file, choose an output such as 3GP, AAC, AIFF or ALAC, and download the result. MKV (Matroska) is an open container that can hold many video, audio and subtitle tracks, popular for archives but less supported on phones and TVs.
A MKV source is a flexible Matroska container capable of multiple audio, video, subtitle, and attachment streams. Its useful destination depends on which stored properties the receiving workflow actually consumes.

Video playback depends on two separate things: the container format and the codecs packed inside it. Picture, sound, captions, chapters, and metadata all ride along, and any of them can fail independently.

A simplified conversion may keep only primary streams, and many browsers do not play MKV directly.
Inspect the stream list, subtitles, language labels, chapters, seeking, and sync.
