| 1383159 | 2014-09-02 23:04:00 | Hi, I have been sent an .mkv video by a friend and need to convert it to something more friendly - say mp4 or avi so I can use in a presentation. I downloaded a free converter and ended up with a hijacked browser:devil (the reason for my earlier post, issue sorted thanks to Speedy Gonzalaz:clap). Can anyone recommend a free, simple to use mkv converter that will retain video/audio sync and not have a time (video length) restriction on it, but also WILL NOT HIJACK my browser? Thanks as always... Apo |

| 1383160 | 2014-09-02 23:15:00 | This should convert it (www.freemake.com). The 1st file. BUT, make sure you untick the 3rd party programs. When you install it. It is free. Also unless you donate (even $2) it'll add a small logo at the end of the converted video. Other than that there are no restrictions in it You can also edit the video before you convert it |

| 1383162 | 2014-09-02 23:20:00 | www.videohelp.com I use this one, I note that the installer may now have adware . You can often untick the adware options :mad: www.videohelp.com The best option is to download VLC player, & play the mkv with that rather than convert it. |

| 1383163 | 2014-09-02 23:24:00 | Thanks 1101, I am converting now using the converter suggestred by Speedy. If that is dodgy at all will look at VCL player. Have shied away from a player as I didn't want to have to get to my presentation site and then encourage them to download a programme to play my presentation. CHeers |

| 1383164 | 2014-09-02 23:32:00 | Tried VLC Player to play it? Or maybe search video help com (www.videohelp.com)for mkv. I use to use their guides a while back for conversions for other formats. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1383165 | 2014-09-02 23:37:00 | If you're using Win7 or 8 (well win 7), it should play MP4 and AVI. Without using anything else. That freemake video converter is pretty good, I use it here quite a lot for editing / converting to other video formats Never had any probs with the video or audio being out of sync. Unless the original video, was out of sync |

| 1383166 | 2014-09-03 00:10:00 | Just used the converter suggested by Speedy (www.freemake.com) and it works awesome, no damage to the audio/video sequence. Yes, leaves a small logo at the very end, but nothing of consequence. Program does what it says, is simple to use, and is FREE. | Aporosa (5671) | ||
| 1383167 | 2014-09-03 00:10:00 | Theres plenty of free ones about, some are better than others. used all of the Following, some work Ok on some files some don't, all depends on how the original was created. NO WATERMARKS either. Video to Video - http://www.videotovideo.org/ NO malware or surprises with this. Handbrake - https://handbrake.fr/ Only has MP4 or MKV output Vidcoder --http://vidcoder.codeplex.com/ Only has MP4 or MKV output Have a look at www.giveawayoftheday.com sometimes they give away all sorts of media software (to many - there's truck loads of them all the time) another place is www.windowsdeal.com/ A site giving away software daily, as well as some damn good discounts - just got a program over the weekend I've been meaning to upgrade 60% discount :banana |

| 1383168 | 2014-09-05 22:52:00 | Hi,I used Format Factory which was great it converts almost anything under the sun,including audio files,but I have since started using Ice Cream Media Converter which again is excellent but is much faster.Both are free. | ruup (1827) | ||
