How do I convert M4V to MKV with LetsConvert?

1. Drag your M4V file onto the upload area. 2. Choose MKV from the output format dropdown. 3. Select 'Copy video and audio' for lossless remuxing. 4. Click 'Convert' and download the resulting MKV once the process finishes. All streams are moved without recompression.

What happens to quality, audio, and metadata during M4V to MKV conversion?

In lossless remux mode, the H.264 video and AAC audio streams are copied into MKV without re-encoding, so resolution, framerate, bitrate, color space, and audio channels remain identical. Subtitle tracks and chapter markers are preserved; iTunes-specific metadata (e.g., cover art, track tags) is not carried over unless you manually remap it. If you choose re-encoding, the video is recompressed, which changes pixel data and can cause quality loss.
