XMedia Recode allows you to convert an MKV file to MP4 format without any loss of quality by simply "repackaging" (container change) the file while keeping the video codec unchanged. This process is called re-muxing and does not result in any compression or change in video quality.
Since this method only changes the container and not the actual video or audio data, the quality of the file remains unchanged.

The MP4 format is a versatile container that supports a wide range of audio, video and subtitle codecs. The choice of codecs depends on quality, compression and compatibility requirements. H.264 and AAC are the most widely used codecs, while HEVC and AV1 are becoming increasingly important. Subtitles are typically embedded as text files, allowing for flexible and cross-platform use.
Step 2. Choose output format: Select MP4 format from the "Format" drop-down menu.
The MP4 format offers clear advantages in terms of compatibility, file size, streaming and ease of use on a variety of devices and platforms.
