Why flip MKV to video

MKV is the format that hoards: video, a dozen audio tracks and every subtitle, all in one box. It was born in 2002, the open-source Matroska project, and its real weak spot is playing on TVs, iPhones and editors that never learned to open the box.

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. Stands in for any video format Flippy can read: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and the rest. That makes it the right destination when what you need is any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads.

Questions people ask

Will converting MKV to video lose quality?

Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.

Will the video file be bigger or smaller than my MKV?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

How long does MKV to video conversion take?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
