How do I convert .mkv files to .avi or .mp4 without issues?
Asked by

I recently downloaded a TV series with episodes that are over 1GB each in .mkv format. I'm trying to convert them to either .avi or .mp4 formats because my old TV can't play .mkv files. I attempted to use VLC for the conversion, but when I try to play the converted files, I get an error saying 'format not supported or damaged files'. Can anyone help me figure out a solution? Thanks!

Check out this FileConverter on GitHub. It automatically converts files and might have the options you need for your TV.

You should try using HandBrake—it's a really straightforward tool for video conversion. I've switched from VLC for this kind of stuff because HandBrake tends to work better for converting video files without issues. Give it a shot!

I also use Shutter Encoder—it has a user-friendly interface and supports a ton of formats. It should help you convert those episodes without any problems!

VLC can actually play .mkv files directly, so you might not need to convert them unless your TV requires a different format. If you're determined to convert, consider Shutter Encoder; it's easy to use and gets the job done nicely!
