About the output format

When MKV is the right output

MKV is an open container that holds essentially any codec — popular with archive-quality releases, multi-language / multi-subtitle content, and the ripping community. Convert to MKV when preserving multiple audio tracks or subtitle streams matters. Playback support is universal on desktop, variable on mobile / TV apps.

My MXF video won't play — will converting to MKV fix it?
