While DVD Catalyst 3 (and other conversion tools), the MKV files in a format that can convert to Xbox 360 or PS3 can be played, is the conversion usually a lengthy process. For most MKV files, the conversion is usually not necessary. Often, the video format AVC/H264-Format, which is fully compatible with MP4 files, however, because of how file formats have been created, you can not simply rename a file, MKV to MP4. Here is where it comes into play again MKV2MP4 Instead of the video compression in the same format, only tears of video and audio portions of the MKV file and then display comes together in a MP4 file. Certainly not as fast as just rename the file, the process of change of format MKV2MP4 is actually quite fast, mainly depends on the speed of hard drives. have in a newer computer, you can convert * * Two hours MKV video file in about 20 minutes, maintaining the current quality of the original MKV file. With a conversion tool, you lose some quality in the conversion, and it takes much longer.
This is amazing, but where's the catch?
Quite simply, not all convert MKV files to files that will play on your Xbox or PS3 MP4
Because video and audio portions is not really converted XBOX or PS3 compatible-specific settings, is at the mercy of the creator / creation tool used to create the file. If the settings are used, created in the preparation of the files that are incompatible with MKV playback device settings their way into the MP4 file.
So why is it used?
If the same program is used, or the file is from the same company / person, usually the same settings for each file that is created. So with a little "trial and error to discover what works best. Of course, you can use a conversion tool, such as use DVD Catalyst 3 to convert fully to any of the MKV files, but if you have many files from a person / company have, and this beautiful game on Xbox or PS3, after it by MKV2MP4 you save a lot of time.

Cons:
Does not work with all MKV files
It requires about four times the size of the file to MKV file space for the correct processing of the file.

1st Before you begin
MKV2MP4 has developed an application to change the format of a video file type other as quickly as possible. Many (not all) of MKV video files already contain video and audio content that is compatible with devices like the Xbox 360 and PS3, but, as is required by this equipment is not in a position to MKV files to change a format games. While each XBOX360 or PS3 Converter can put these files in the correct format, a compaction both video and audio portion is converted running, thereby reducing the quality and may take some time.
MKV2MP4 was created to speed up this process and leave the video unchanged. Preview of the original video and audio portions from MKV files, and then she goes into an MP4 video files. A complete conversion from MKV to MP4 can be up to 10-12 hours for a two-hour film, but MKV2MP4 can take this process at least 20 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer (s).
Important because the video is unchanged, as the original MKV file was ever created. Both can be transferred to XviD AVC video a MP4 file, however, if the settings to create the video part, is incompatible with the settings of the resulting file will not be fully compatible.
2nd MKV2MP4 What to do?
MKV2MP4 performs the following steps to change a video file, MKV to an MP4 file.
• In the first place you check out the video from the MKV file into an AVI (XviD) and H.264 (AVC) video file-only. If another format is detected, it is converted to a format compatible with the selected setting. MKV is a lot of video formats, but not as MP4.
· Then we have to extract the audio part of the MKV files, the AAC (AAC audio) and AC3 (for AC3/E-AC3) files. If the sound is in a different format, AAC will be converted.
• If part of the original video was H264, a small change to the file headers are made to ensure that your ID is set AVC Level.
• In the last step, both the video and audio portion in a single MP4 file, or if enabled (and requests for large files on the picture below), the resulting merged file is divided into several sections.
3rd What is MKV2MP4 NOT?
MKV2MP4 not a converter. In the sense of the word, yes it is, while no conversion capacity, is understood not as a tool for MKV file conversion, DVD Catalyst 3 designed for this so, and does a better job with more options. MKV2MP4 will only change MKV files to MP4 format that is all. It offers no configuration options than the tendered and not particularly supports subtitles.
4th System Requirements
* DVD Catalyst 3 (with Booster Pack 2) must be installed and running at least once. At first glance, DVD Catalyst 3, some files in the folder "Application Data installed on your computer that are used by MKV2MP4. MKV2MP4 Without these files do not work (and not running). The trial version of DVD Catalyst, but enough.
• The processor speed is not significantly affected, but the audio portion must be converted into the rule, and this is useful to have a faster system.
Plenty of space ·. About 4x the size of the MKV files because of the need to extract the video and audio streams in separate and change them if necessary, and the resulting creation of MP4 file.
· Hard Disk Speed (s). The faster the drive, the faster the conversion. Do not use an external drive for both source location and the temporary / output locations. Works best with an external hard drive for storing MKV and use a hard disk for temporary and output.

5th Compatibility
The various possibilities, MKV files are created, the compatibility is not guaranteed. Created MP4 files are used to on Xbox 360 and PS3 game, but not all. The Xbox 360 has, for example, a maximum file size of 4 GB, so if you change a 9GB MKV files, you need to be divided "into several parts option."

File entry in the list. When adding MKV files to the service will appear here after scanning. If the list number (00001) provides as follows * 00 001 *, the video format is in an unsupported format (WMV) or screen size of the original file is too big for her right to an Xbox 360 or PS3. Change the file will probably still work (supported video formats to trigger the automatic conversion), but it is likely that the MP4 file is created, not play on the device. If you marked the "Ignore file" checkbox, the files are ignored.
H264 a video?
Video Stream ID, the video format and language. MKV Some have multiple video portions, that are listed in the drop-down menu. There will also be displayed, or language, or if the language for the video part is not defined (which is usually the case) only shows "???" Instead of the language. It probably is the same for most of the MKV file.
Converting H264 / Convert to XVID
MP4 files may contain H264 (AVC), XVID video or video at the same compatibility with the standard, but has much more freedom, MKV, what it supports. You can also WMV, FLV video and much more, without problems of compatibility with standard MKV. For this reason, it is often necessary to set the video stream is not by that which may be used to convert an MP4 file support. While many of the formats that do not work with MP4 trigger a transformation of the format, if you want to convert to a sustained flow in any other supported format, select the checkbox for this setting.
Please note that it will take much longer and slower when you use an actual conversion tool such as DVD-catalyst 3.
1CH 2 AAC audio ...
detect similar videos, but also for audio. ID audio track, audio format, number of channels, and if the language specified.
Usually, you want to choose the security with the largest number of channels. In the example above, the other two tracks are probably the traces comment.
Convert to AAC
As the "Convert to tick" for the video, but then the audio portion. With this enabled (default) is all processed audio to 160 Kbps AAC stereo audio to be converted. The XBOX360 not like multi-channel audio in a MP4 video files, so this must be converted over. By removing this check box, highlight both the AAC and AC3 audio streams, regardless of how many channels remain unchanged (no conversion), but other formats such as Ogg Audio and DTS Both are not supported in MP4 files, nor to AAC stereo audio to be converted.
Temp folder
Click on the location shown (by default, change it to "My Documents" folder) as you want to use for temporary files. The process requires a certain "area of the file (about 4 times the size of video files, MKV files) to ensure there is plenty of space. For the sake of her best performance, another hard disk for temporary storage location that the original files stored have to choose.
Output Folder
Click on the location shown (by default, change it to "My Documents" folder) as you want for MP4 files to use. Since files can not or are only slightly changed, you must have at least the same amount of space available, as the original MKV file. To speed up the process a bit, "use of another medium that used for temporary files. Since the MP4 file created by the temporary files, you can follow the same path as the original MKV file.
Skip selected files
If, during which the original file format does not support MKV video scan is found, or if the screen is larger than 1280 × 720, the file will be "reported" in the list (instead of 00 001 * 00001) Select this symbol Check the file will be reported completely skipped. For video formats, automatic conversion is enabled, but MKVS with a higher resolution, you should use a conversion tool such as DVD Catalyst 3 to actually converting the files.
Delete temporary files
After the change process is complete for a file, the temporary file are automatically deleted. If you want to keep it for another purpose, remove the check mark. The filenames are the same for each item, so if you are to remove them, and prepare another file that will be overwritten.
Split shares of X
The Xbox 360 can not play video files larger than 4 GB (unless they are WMV). If the MKV files are larger than 4 GB it is split into several smaller pieces so that they can be played on the Xbox 360. (Or if you split a USB stick that does not use sufficient space for the whole file), activated with the check mark, the file during the creation of the MP4 file (to be divided at the same time, so as not to slow down things) . File is finally as "my movie 0001.mp4" "My films 0002.mp4" and so on are called.

9th F.A.Q.
First MKV2MP4 is not a true conversion tool. During the implementation of the steps to create an MP4 file from a MKV file is not completely convert the file, then it is quite likely that the video files are created not on the work an Xbox 360 or PS3. Depends on many things, especially the origin of the MKV file and the settings of the original creator of the file were used. If the resulting MP4 file does not work on your player, you can use a conversion tool, how to use DVD Catalyst 3, to convert into reality the file in the correct format, but this is of course much more time.
Second, MKV2MP4 an alpha version and is available as a free download made available. During the work, the questions (and probably also rise).
