From what I've read in other forums trying to extract MKV stuff and
re-encode it sounds like a big bag of hurt. Apparently the formats for
both the audio and video inside mkv are not supported natively on OSX
and there are no known plugins to do so. So even if you manage to
extract the audio and video out you'll have to re-encode them and then
combine them back into a single video file. A non trivial process. From
what I can tell, VLC implements its own playback engine that doesn't
rely on the platform (Mac, Windows, Linux etc) for anything which is why
you can use it to play mkv files on the Mac without conversion.

Hello everyone,
I have an MKV vile that I would like to convert into mp4.
Is it possible to accomplish this using VLC?
I have tried converting files before, but to no avail.
Would anyone have any suggestions on how to convert MKV files using VLC, or
another program?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
