Convert H264 to MKV

H264 to MKV Converter Software converts H264 files to MKV. The converter supports
popular codecs for MKV file such as H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, AAC, AC-3, MP2, MP3, and
Vorbis. The software could calculate bit rate for video according to video size automatically.
The converter supports common media formats such as FLAC, AAC, MPG, AVI, Android
Phone, M4V, 3G2, etc. It could convert MPEG to WebM (VP8), WMV to SWF, DVD to FLAC,
3G2 to OGM, WebM to SWF, and so on. In other words, the software is an ideal format
Converter Software for common uses.
H264 to MKV Converter Software supports batch conversion and, is full compatible with
Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2008, Windows 2003, and Windows
2000.

What is H264?
H.264 encompasses a collection of powerful features that enable the delivery of high-quality
video at very low data rates. Specified in Annex H of H.264/AVC, MVC enables the construction
of bitstreams that represent more than one view of a video scene. In June 2004, the Fidelity range
extensions (FRExt) project was finalized. The H.264 video format has a very broad application
range that covers all forms of digital compressed video from low bit-rate Internet streaming
applications to HDTV broadcast and Digital Cinema applications with nearly lossless coding.
Baseline Profile (BP): Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss
robustness, this profile is used in some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This profile
includes all features that are supported in the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional
features that can be used for loss robustness (or for other purposes such as low-delay multi-point
video stream compositing). The importance of this profile has faded somewhat since the
definition of the Constrained Baseline Profile in 2009. All Constrained Baseline Profile
bitstreams are also considered to be Baseline Profile bitstreams, as these two profiles share the
same profile identifier code value. From July 2006 to November 2009, the JVT worked on
Multiview Video Coding (MVC), an extension of H.264/AVC towards free viewpoint television
and 3D television. That work included the development of two new profiles of the standard: the
Multiview High Profile and the Stereo High Profile. Some software programs (such as VLC
media player) internally identify this standard as AVC1. The final drafting work on the first
version of the standard was completed in May 2003.
What is MKV?
MKV is a flexible, open standard video file format that has quickly become the preferred file
extension for high definition video on the Internet. The following media players have been tested

and proved by Matroska to support MKV files: ALShow, Avidemux, BS Player, Chameleo, The
Core Media Player, Core Player Mobile, The Core Pocket Media Player, foobar2000, GOM
Player, Gstreamer-based Players, Handbrake, jetAudio, Kaffeine, The KMPlayer, Media Player
Classic, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, MediaPortal, Mezzmo Media Player, MPlayer,
MythTV, Perian Quicktime Plugin for Mac OS X, Target Longlife Media Player, Totem Movie
Player, VirtualDubMod, VLC media player, VSO, Vuze Media Player, Windows Media Player
11, xine, Zoom Player, plexapp, and XBMC. Matroska aims to become THE standard of
multimedia container formats. The Matroska developers are also continually working along with
hardware producers to include MKV support in multimedia software typically included with new
computers and support in a variety of operating systems. MKV (Matroska) is an open source
format based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), and includes a greater number of
features than supported by other container formats used in industry. EBML enables the Matroska
Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility, without
breaking file support in old parsers. It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing
common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. MKV files contain video and audio
streams (may also contain subtitles). The streams are likely compressed and have been produced
with an encoder. In order to play these streams a codec is required.
