The MP4 format was standardized in 2001 as part of the MPEG-4 standard, while MKV (Matroska Video) was developed as an open standard project in 2002.
MKV is one of the most flexible container formats, capable of storing practically any type of audio or video content.
While MP4 is optimized for streaming and widely supported by devices, MKV offers superior flexibility for storing multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and chapter information.
This makes MKV particularly popular among video enthusiasts and for high-definition content archiving.
Converting MP4 to MKV involves repackaging the video and audio streams from the MPEG-4 container format to the Matroska container.
As both are modern container formats, this conversion often doesn't require re-encoding the actual video or audio content, resulting in a lossless transfer.
MKV supports virtually all codecs that MP4 can contain, plus many more. The MKV container offers advantages such as support for multiple subtitle tracks, chapter information, and metadata.
Additionally, MKV can handle variable framerate content more robustly and doesn't have the same limitations on file size or stream length that some other formats do.
Pro Tip: Converting from MP4 to MKV is ideal when you need to preserve high-quality video with multiple audio tracks or subtitles, especially for archiving or playback on home theater systems.
