M4V to MKV

I tried to watch a downloaded video with a .M4V extension on my bluray player but it only accepts .mkv extensions.  Is there a way to convert the file so I can watch my tv download on my tv?

I think you'd better convert your DVD to other video formats such as MOV which can be supported by iMovie without problem.
You can use other DVD Ripper programs rather than Handbrake to rip the unencrypted DVDs or decrypted DVDs.
However, I am very interesting about burning your old 8mm tapes to DVD. Are you glad to provide me the detailed steps about it?

  • Is ther a chance that atv 2nd gen read .mkv format?

    hallo,
    as a new Apple TV (2nd generation),
    i have been trying to change all my storage from .mkv to .m4v (that is the best for the atv)
    i have been trying some software like
    1. visual hub
    2. HandBrake
    3. submerge
    i have to say that when you want subs, submerge to that in the best way and the atv showed the subs in perfect way. (not cutout on speech breaks like HandBrake)
    submerge do that different and simply makes the sub file part of the .m4v.
    i have to say that all the software that i have write above to export from .mkv to .m4v or other format do that very but very slowly!
    it takes an 2 and a half hours to convert tv show on .mkv that contain 45m of showtime to .m4v.
    the file is 1.7Gb capacity (the normal for hd ready (720p) tv show.
    now take a second and imagine how many time takes to convert and merge subs to file like movie in 720p that is capacity is 4.7Gb at least.
    it takes like one day at least and stuck the software in the middle. seems like impossible to do that.
    the whole convert and export thing takes forever and is very annoying that you cant simply convert your storage to .m4v from .mkv in the easy way and without to wait so many time.
    if anybody have software or idea
    1.how to the convert and merge simply and fast?
    2. the other way to make the atv 2nd gen to read an mkv file with subs (it seems the best way and i would like to know how to doing that)
    hopes that my little post here help to some new atv 2nd gen users to understand the all pictur.
    regards and thank you all

    so i can say that "apple tv is not a streamer".
    No, AppleTV will stream video from your PC/Mac, but it has to be in the iTunes library with iTunes open, and has to be in the correct format which for most purposes will be h264.
    See under video formats:
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    popcorn a110, xstreamer and others better then him because the smp8634 chip?
    The chips in some media players may confer some advantages, but it's more a question that Apple don't support MPEG/MPEG-2/ISO/Video_TS/AVI/Divx/MKV etc etc on the AppleTV
    Full HD in certain formats/codecs may be beyond AppleTV's hardware, but many others would work if they were supported, it's just that they're not, so you have to convert non-compatible video using apps like the ones you've mentioned.
    Many will disagree but I personally think it was a big factor that held back AppleTV1 sales - many of the other formats are popular and widely used, but Apple don't want to support them on AppleTV for one reason or another.
    Maybe they expect you to buy/rent everything from iTunes, though there are undoubtedly other factors.
    and why apple dosent want to add him the srtreamer option that he can read any format that exist just like the a110 and xstreamer pro
    It's nothing to do with streaming, AppleTV does stream, the AppleTV software only supports streaming the formats listed in the specs. As you say there are devices with a much wider repertoire of supported formats, it may be one of those would be better for you.
    AppleTV's big plus point is it's user interface - many other (mostly WD) streamers I've tried have very poor interfaces, I've not tried the ones you mention.
    why make are lifes so hard!??! (-:
    Some will say Apple support a limited set of formats as there are so many variations out there that even devices that say they support things don't fully or have problems with certain files, and limiting formats will reduce issues.
    Personally I think it's because they assume most content will come from Macs iLife apps or itunes Store which will produce content in suitable formats. Some will argue that containers like MKV are simply used for potentially illegal disc rips and therefore Apple won't support them (or maybe is pressurised by content providers not to provide them?).
    Anyhow, send feedback here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    I don't think we'll see new formats added, but you never know.
    Also, it will be interesting to see what Airplay from iPhones/iPads offers - if it's available to any application this might be a gateway to different format support given teh likes of VLC being ported (in a limited form so far) to iPad.

  • Videos no longer recognized by MacBook Pro

    A novice here.  I have home videos that used to work (.m4v and .mkv) but they no longer do.  The size appears to be what they always were (4.12+ GB) but the icon is now solid white and is no longer recognized by anything (QuickTime, Preview, etc.).  Can you help me?  Thanks!!!

    Get VLC for those videos. Works fine in ML.
    Your Perian is probably broken.

  • Is m4v better quality than a remuxed MKV file via Subler?

    I'm slowly building my home media server and putting my Blu-Ray's onto it. I normally do a Handbrake conversion for ATV3, so the MKV files end up being significantly smaller m4v's and the quality is outstanding. But I recently learned about the quick remux method using Subler, which quickly converts the MKV container into an m4v container without any quality loss and while keeping the same size file.  But I noticed that, say, a 29GB MKV file is a much poorer softer picture on my plasma TV than the same movie that's only a 9GB MKV file (remuxed to m4v with subler for streaming over ATV3). I'm running a 300mbps cable modem so the streaming shouldn't be a problem over my home wifi.  But I also noticed that the smaller m4v's (say a 3.5GB file that comes from a 9GB MKV file via Handbrake) seem to be slightly better quality than the 9GB file that was remuxed.  So it seems like the larger file should be even higher quality -- but I'm getting better results with a smaller file that's Handbrake'd from MKV to m4v.
    Is there some sort of streaming setting on the ATV3 that needs to be set or adjusted that will allow the full gorgeous pic quality of a 29GB file to stream right through to it, and look better than the Handbrake'd m4v file?  It feels like there's a bottleneck somewhere that's not letting all of the complete picture information through, and an intact, perfect 29GB file should look light years better than that 29GB file Handbrake'd down to 4GB.  Trying to figure this out before I continue down this home media server path cuz it's a lot of work to do these Blu's one at a time.
    Kirby

    I have no experience of the remuxing you describe, but interesting observations.
    There is nothing you can adjust on AppleTV - it will either play the encoded movie or it won't.
    AppleTv's generally playback the h264 codec (in an m4v container) - there are many many versions/levels of this codec and each generation of AppleTv has been able to play slightly more sophisticated versions.
    I suspect but cannot prove that the issue you notice is due to AppleTV attempting to support advanced h264 features but making compromises which affect playback quality - in other words it is cutting corners to playback advanced h264 profile features rather than refusing.  Handbrake on the other hand has time at its disposal - it has been refined over many years by dedicated enthusiasts so if a simple remux is all that's required i'd be surprised they have not implemented that.  Instead I suspect it more accurately processes enhanced h264 features before transcoding into a new smaller m4v file.  Equally there might be settings in HB which artificially sharpen or otherwise alter the video which you prefer.  I'd compare the BluRay tothe remuxed or HB versions to attempt to decide which was more faithful to the original but even then it would be dependent on the BluRay player's settings in some cases.

  • Supported containers for Videos app ? mkv ? ogm ?

    Hello,
    the "Videos" app only shows .mp4 files (those from my previous andro phone on the SD) ,it does not list .mkv or .ogm files i added via usb storage
    The phone is the Zte Open C, FFOS 1.3.0.x (20140519) (localized in french, bought from zte ebay)
    1) I understand only part of the brazilian ticket below, but does Mozilla plan to add mkv or ogm compatibility to the Firefox Video App ? Or other containers ? What about formats of contents inside containers (x264 ? Xvid ? aac ?)
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982536?esab=a&s=video&r=3&as=s
    2) Are FFOS apps limited to the formats/containers listed in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility ?
    If FFOS apps are limited to these formats, can Mozilla extend the number of compatible formats for FFOS ? And is it planned ? In the design for webapps, i don't have the impression that a developer (except mozilla ?) can implement a port of a C/C++ app like VLC or mplayer to FFOS ?
    I know it's a hard question, but having a phone device that can also be used as a video media player and play any video format is useful, and the less recoding/remuxing the better.

    Hi potf,
    I was finally able to track down specific details of formats, containers, and codecs that are playable in Firefox OS. This information is also applicable for Firefox browser, and Firefox for Android.
    These are the file formats that are recognizable by Firefox OS ([http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content/devicestorage.properties reference]):
    * '''pictures'''=*.jpe; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png; *.bmp;
    * '''music'''=*.mp3; *.oga; *.ogg; *.m4a; *.m4b; *.m4p; *.m4r; *.3gp; *.mp4; *.m3u; *.pls; *.opus; *.amr; *.wav; *.lcka;
    * '''videos'''=*.mp4; *.mpeg; *.mpg; *.ogv; *.ogx; *.webm; *.3gp; *.3g2; *.ogg; *.m4v;
    Regarding the codecs and containers that are playable in Firefox OS, Firefox currently supports the following media formats where the decoding support is built into the browser ([http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2013/08/21/html-media-support-in-firefox.html reference]):
    * '''Opus''' audio in an Ogg container on all platforms.
    * '''Vorbis''' audio in an Ogg or WebM container on all platforms.
    * '''Theora''' video in an Ogg container on all platforms.
    * '''VP8''' video in a WebM container on all platforms.
    * '''WAV''' audio on all platforms.
    Support for the following formats in Firefox uses operating system decoder support. This means coverage is not available across all platforms. We are working towards this goal:
    * '''H.264''' video in an MP4 container on Firefox OS, some Android devices, and Desktop on Windows Vista and up.
    * '''AAC''' audio in an MP4 container on Firefox OS, some Android devices, and Desktop on Windows Vista and up.
    * '''MP3''' audio in MP3 files on Firefox OS, some Android devices and Desktop on Windows Vista and up. Support for Windows XP is coming in Firefox 26.
    We hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks,
    - Ralph

  • How do I import mkv files to Final Cut Pro

    Sorry if this has been asked before.  I searched and didn't find a ton of specific information on this.
    I am trying to work with some large HD .mkv files.  These are 1080p videos.  I have tried using Mpeg Streamclip with several settings such as ProRes 422, Mpeg4, and AIC.  In all instances my import to FCP (v6.0.6) have been problematic.  The biggest issue I have had is that I end up with sound synch issues or my 5.1 sound is dropped to 2 channel.
    The only success I have had so far has been to use Handbrake to convert the .mkv files down to 720p (resulting in a .m4v file that isn't compatible with FCP), then convert again in Mpeg Streamclip to AIC (which FCP can handle).  This resulted in an editable file format that FCP handled with no sound synch issues but I lost the 5.1 sound which is a real bummer.
    Can anyone please provide me with some suggestions and a better work flow.  My end goal is to be able to edit the footage and export to a 720p mass compatible format like .mp4.  I really want to retain the 5.1 sound as well.
    Thanks.

    Never heard of .mkv myself but you may need to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3, which you can't do any longer.

  • Playing AVI and MKV on a Mac questions

    First let me say I'm converting to Mac soon. Hence these questions.
    I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
    Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
    Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
    Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
    Thank you.

    I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
    Depends on whether or not the codecs cotained in the AVI or MKV files (AVI and MKV are only file containers—not compression formats) are supported by the DivX installation or your Mac component configuration.
    Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
    The Perian package still works under Mountain Lion but some codec components may only be available via the older QT 7 player app. However, DivX codecs may or may not have conflict problems with the Perian components.
    Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
    Again, this would depend on the specific codecs used in the AVI or MKV file containers. Basically if the content is compatible with the formats supported by FFmpegX software, then they will be supported by HandBrake. As to loss of quality, the depends on the quality you start with in the source file, the specific settings used for the conversion, and the target display dimensions of your conversion. In some cases where the source data is already compressed as MPEG-4 or MPEG-4/AVC content, the data can the resaved to MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file containers withould having to transcode any data.
    Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
    Basically, any App Store application that can convert AVI or MKV files using its own internal  codec support and has a built in player module should be able to play such files. And more are available online besides those in the App Store.

  • E17 - No mkv video thumbnails or previews

    Hi all, I'm at my wit's end trying to fix this.
    When using the elementary file manager, it simply will not generate video thumbnails or video previews for .mkv files (video/x-matroska), despite doing so for .avi, .mp4, .m4v, and others.
    I believe I have the necessary gstreamer packages:
    pacman -Qs gstreamer

    Also, looking in the 'File Icons Settings' menu, 'video/x-matroska' does not appear, which seems to imply that the filemanager isn't creating thumbnails/previews due to not recognising the filetype.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Interestingly, if I build the emotion package with xine support, I get sound output but no video output during the preview, and thumbnails are still not generated. Building the package with vlc support got no further results.

  • Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v?

    Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v? I am figuring out how best to save old VCR files. Is the 264 category the best?

    So, what would that software be? Anything that I mentioned, e.g., iMovie? Any Video Converter?
    I'm a Mac user so I want files that play "natively" in QT X, QT 7, QL, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and/or TV players. This means I want the H.264/AAC compressed data in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers. I can use QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, and /or QT X to move MPEG-4/AAC compressed data to MOV file containers, MPEG Streamclip to movie M4V and MOV MPEG-4/AAC data to MP4 file containers, and Subler to move MP4 or MOV MPEG-4 AVC/AAC/AC3/Chapter data to M4V file containers. This is strictly a simple "copy" operation and no recompression of data is involved. (I.e., the quality is not changed.)
    iMovie is a video editor and it forces an export conversion of your project once completed which can degrade quality. Have never used the Any Video Converter so I don't know if it has an audio and/or video "passthrough" feature for data already in a compatible compression formats. If it doesn't then any conversion it makes has the potential to degrade video content.
    As to AVI, this is a legacy file container abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of their modernized WMV compression format/file type products. Compared to MKV, AVI is an outmoded/out-of-date container which I don't recommend you use unless you are a glutton for punishment. However, if you must use it, then you might try the AvidMux app. It can "copy" compatible content to a number of file container types—including AVI and MKV. Just don't blame me if its use creates more problems than it solves on current Mac systems.

  • Converting between .mkv .mov and .mp4

    I have been given some h264 video files in .mkv format and am able to convert these to .mov by resaving them out to .mov from QuickTime Player 7.
    I can change the file extension in Finder to .mp4 and they seem to then more or less behave as .mp4 files.
    Are they actually .mp4, or QT doesn't care and just opens them anyway?
    What is the best method of handling these files for widest usage on multiple devices?
    I have read up as much as I can on the file formats but no-where does it say what OSX is actually doing when I change the extension.
    Am I right in wanting them to be .mp4 files?
    Peter

    I didn't state the audio format(s) because it has rarely been an issue, if it fails it fails at the first hurdle. The container.
    Non-AAC audio will likely fail to load/play if the MKV Extension is changed at the Finder Level. Using MPEG Streamclip to move the compressed data to a "real" MP4 file container will normally strip the audio from the final file. If you wish to retain the audio, use the QT 7 Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" option, use video passthrough, and transcode the audio to AAC.
    Most of the .mkv files have aac audio, but not all. Chapters are irrelevant, never having found any nor thought them useful.
    This is a user preference. I prefer to keep the original chapter markers for apps that use them rather than falling back on the defaulted markers added by some device players.
    I am playing the files on several Macs, 2 PCs, an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2 and possibly future Android devices. There are even 2 TVs which seem to be stuck with only reading avi.
    Macs, iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPad will play H.264/AAC compressed data natively in MOV, MP4, or M4v file containers. PCs and Android playback will depend on the compatibility of the player app used on the device. Macs will play H.264 with any audio supported by your Mac codec component configuration in the MOV file container.
    My main target however is a PS3, which has turned out to be the most flexible media device in the house but does object to some files for indeterminant reasons. I will need to do comprehensive testing to find exactly what it is it doesn't like. Mostly it is good, once you update the system.
    Do not own a PS3 but believe it is supossed to be compatible iTunes and mobile device supported formats. Again, the file container of choice would depend on the content you wish to include in the file. If you want to include AC3 DD5.1 sourround soud audio, I would normally recommend the MV4 or MOV containers.
    The secondary target is iTunes so that I can get the files onto my iPod Touch and iPhone. I'm sort of used to that level of Apple devices (and I presume AppleTV) "Just not working" unless it suits Apple. So I restrict my viewing to mp4 files of my own creation or mkv files so over the top in size that recompression does little to degrade them.
    Again, the M4V file container with H.264/AAC with or without AC3 surround audio, alternative AAC audio, and/or chapters is usually the preferred norm. If you plan to use a "universal" file format, then the display dimensions, frame rate, profile, and level for encodes may depend on the specific devices involved. I.e., that is why I limit my files to 720p30 Main Profile Level 3.1 to High Profile Level 4.0 compression and rarely use even half (more commonly only about a quarter to a third) of the video data rates allowed with these settings.
    XBMC and other Media Server software seem, like VLC to be pretty tolerant, and whilst I haven't yet built myself a Media Server, it is on my longer term To-Do list.
    I use iTunes for in-house media server software to TV and mobile devices with Air Video as my primary server software externally via the internet to mobile devices when away from home. Both access the same Promise Pegasus R6 12 TB RAID storage device. (Have moved most of my content from an old Drobo Pro RAID and am in the process of upgrading the current 16 TB unit to 24 TBs as individual drives fail for the storage of raw video footage.)
    The h264 should pass straight through in a simple QT resave? Same if it has AAC audio?
    If the source MKV file is playback compatible with your system's current codec component configuration, then the QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." option can copy the data in the MKV file directly to a new MOV file container without transcoding/recompressing any of the data. Unfortunately, the QT X player is a bit more iffy. Basically, Apple has combined the "Save, Export, and Save As..." options in to a single menu option. The result is that sometimes the app will recompress the data and at other times it may not—dependent on a numbe of variables.)
    If the MKV file contains H.264 video and AAC audio, then the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." option allows you to select either MOV or MP4 as the target file container. If the MKV file contains H.264 video but the audio is not AAC but is still export-compatible with the QT 7 Pro app, then you can use the QT 7 Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" Export option to pass the H.264 video unchanged to a new MP4 file container while simultaneously coverting the audio to AAC. Since you still have not stated what non-AAC formats are included in some of your MKV files, I cannot tell at this point if this is a viable workflow for you.
    That covers most cases. I'm still not a 100% clear on tghe real differences between .mov and .mp4 containers and how much it really matters in the scheme of things. .mp4 seems to the go, does .mov cause a problem? If so how and how best to rectify that?
    The containers are different. They have different internal identifiers, features, capabilities, and sometimes limitations. CDs, DVDs, and BDs are all different types of optical media but each has different capacities, ratings, and features that determine how they can be used, what kind of media can be recoded on it, and what kind of a device must be used for playback. MP4 containers are very limited. Thay can only conatain MPEG-4 (MPEG-4/H.264) video and MPEG-4 (AAC) audio. M4V file containers are less limited and may typically contain H.264 video, AAC and/or AC3 audio, and chapter tracks. MOV file containers are generic and can hold up to 99 tracks of audio, video, image, text, 'tween, sprite, etc. data that is compatible with the system on which it was created. As to MOV files causing a problem—yes and no, depending on how you use it. Put "muxed" MPEG-2 data in an MOV file in an MOV file container and it will play normally in the QT 7 player (with the QT MPEG-2 component installed)—i.e., no problem. But try to play the same file in the QT X player and it will tell you that you are missing a codec component—a definite problem since you tried to play playable content in a container the media player did not expect to contain that particular form of compression. As to fixing aproblem. I would be better able to answer that if I knoew what specific problem you were referring to here.
    This is why I keep harping about knowing which player is to be used, what audio and video compression format is being used and what container is to be used. And we have not even gotten around to checking the H.264 settings. QT based players are standards conscious. Each Profile and level combination tells the player the max macroblock decoding rate, number of macroblocks allowed per frame, the maximum video data rate allowed, the highest useable resolution @ the highest frame rate, what features are supported by profile, etc. Unfortunately, some third-party venders sometimes hybridize these settings which can make the files unplayable in QT apps but they may still play on other players which do not check on or trap on the use of non-standard settings.
    BTW I did a quick hunt around on h265 and can't see what Apple is doing. Giving it a miss like it did with Bluray?
    Apple is not known for embracing such technology quickly—especially since they are still drafting and reviewing drafted standards. (I believe DivX released a draft version on the 15th of this month.) The current evolution of QT X will probably take another 5-7 years and Apple will have to design hardware capable of handling 4K and 8K  if anyone is actually going to put it to use on future Mac systems. The development of mobile devices have, for the most part, only been supporting 1080p resolutions for a relatively short period and jumping to 8K would represent something of a quantum leap at the consumer level.

  • Does ipad support .mkv format video?

    I am thinking to buy a ipad, and I have a large collection of .mkv format videos. So, can I watch those video on ipad, or do i need to convert them to other format before I can download to the ipad? Thanks a lot in advance!

  • ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

    I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
    When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
    I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
    Thanks

    Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
    If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
    f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
    Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
    The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

    I have just asked a question about downloading MacKeeper elsewhere - why do you say not to download it? Does it not work or is it malicious?
    Do you have any others suggestions for cleaning up my laptop and desktop? Both running OS 10.6.8 and both seem a bit slow to me, especially when I have multiple applications open.
    Thanks

  • M4v movie file in h.264 format freezes in itunes/quicktime

    I have some movie files in .m4v format with h.264 codec, and when I play these in itunes/quicktime, the video quickly freezes but the audio continues to run without pause. I've noticed that a movie in .m4v as an MPEG4 works fine, however. Exact same result if I run a .mkv movie with h.264/MPEG4 (works for MPEG4 only)
    I'm using a Unibody MB OSX 10.5.8.
    I'm hoping to run the h.264 in itunes so I can stream it to a new apple tv because of the better quality vs. MPEG4.
    Any thoughts???
