Whatever your camera, screen recorder or download produced, converting that video to MKV gets you a file built for high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks. Flippy reads practically any video format and writes clean MKV: codecs, containers and all the fiddly parts handled for you.

Why flip video to MKV

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

MKV is the format that hoards: video, a dozen audio tracks and every subtitle, all in one box. The Matroska container: it will hold practically any codec ever made. That makes it the right destination when what you need is high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to MKV 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 MKV file be bigger or smaller than my video?

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

Where will the MKV file play?

VLC and desktop players love it; smart TVs, Apple devices and editors often don't. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: MKV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does video to MKV 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.
