    Thanks as always. The issue with VLC, in converting MKV to MP4, is you’re likely to re-encode the video, when often you can simply copy it over. As you know, MKV is a container, not a video format, and MKVs often contain video and audio tracks compatible with MP4 playback. An easier free tool is XMedia Recode. Load MKV, choose output and XMedia will show you if you need to convert or can just copy the video and audio tracks. Copy is obviously lossless, and takes roughly 1 minute for a 1 GB file. XMedia will also encode if required.

    I want to make a small comment here about a common misunderstanding. MKV and MP4 are not video codecs like x264 vs the far more efficient x265 (HEVC). They are containers and could feasibly hold any number of different media streams within them. I have often heard people claiming that one is better than the other which is idiotic as neither has any impact on video quality. In point of fact MKV is generally a more flexible container and is able to hold a greater range of media streams and associated Metadata. As an analogy, it is like two people arguing about whose lunch is better based on the type of lunch box they own.

    Though the mkv file format is open to all; you might encounter systems that do not play or support the mkv extension or container format. In this situations, it is necessary to convert mkv to another system-compatible file format, such as the mp4 file format. It is actually effortless to convert mkv to mp4 using a video converting software like DumboFab Video Converter.

    Hey man can I please have some help? I’m having an issue with my hard drive. So long story short I sold my old Vega 56 to someone through facebook. He claimed it didn’t work and he opened up a case against me. PayPal told him to send me the card back. I have a 5600x/3060ti combo in my system. My pc has been running great with no issues. Yesterday I get the vega 56 back from the guy and put it in my system and the card works. I put it under load, play games etc. everything is all good. So I take it out of my system and put my 3060ti back in and it just goes to the bios. I can’t boot to windows now and my hard drive isn’t even showing up anymore in the system. I unplugged everything and plugged it back in, cleared the cmos, used different sata ports and nothing is happening. I’m worried that I lost everything on my hard drive because I haven’t backed it up recently. I took the hard drive out of my system and the fan inside of it is spinning but no matter what I do it isn’t being read in my system. It’s doing exactly what yours did in the video with the asrock motherboard where it just boots to the bios and won’t let me into windows. For me though the hard drive was my only drive so I lost everything. Is there any way to fix this?

    Also going from MKV to MP4 creates a larger file than the MKV. His example showed MKV at 949mb and the MP4 was 499mb. 50mb larger.

    I watched your video and followed along on my computer but the file that VLC created for me was only 1 kb in size and non-usable. The file I'm trying to convert to MP4 is a .SNX file which is the type of file created by Uniden security cameras. So far, I can only view them on the Uniden monitor that came with the system. Do you know how to convert a .SNX file to ,MP4?

    If it is a single camera video you can try changing the .SNX suffix to .ASF .... Or you can load the video up in the Uniden player and pause it and go to your %AppData%\Sec24 Media Player folder and inside there is a temp folder (forgot the name but will have the word temp in it) and copy those files to your desktop (There should be one for each camera/channel) and rename the .SNX to .ASF .... Then you should be able to load the .ASF files in VLC and convert them to MP4

  • @Ratchet_effect

    @Ratchet_effect

    2 жыл бұрын

    Let me guess you found the .SNX files in --> C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Uniden Media Player You need to ignore the 1kb files & use the bigger .SNX that are in that folder, right click in the folder & choose View, then change it from what it is, to Details to see the file sizes. copy the larger .SNX files to a new folder. Rename them to .ASF & you should find that VLC Media player will play them if done correctly. Lot of programs like Handbreak/Vidcoder will convert the asf to mp4
