Step 3: From the Open Media window, click on the Add… button to locate the file that you want to convert from your computer.
Step 4: A windows file picker will open up. Find where you stored your .MKV file and click on it. Click the Open button. You will see the .MKV file appears within the file selection.
Step 5: Click on the Convert/Save button. It will open up the convert dialog. You will be able to see the source file you are going to convert at the top. Make sure the “Convert” setting is on.
Step 6: Under the Profile option drop-down menu, scroll to the top and choose Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4).
There will also be many different ways that you could convert a file. If you want to extract the audio from the video file, you can convert it into an MP3. You will also have some preset options depending on what type of device you want to put it on. If you want to put it on YouTube, you will need to click on the video for YouTube HD. This will convert it into an MP4 file, but it will be a little bit more compressed.
Step 7: At the bottom, you will see the Destination file: option. You can choose where you want the converted MP4 file to be stored. Click on the Browse button and choose the location. Type in a file name and click on the Save button.
Step 8: You can then click on the Start button to start the conversion process. After the conversion completes, you will see the new MP4 file in your chosen destination folder.
