iPhone/iPod/PS3 MKV Converter
How to convert MKV for playback on portable devices like iPhone, iPod, PS3, etc.?
Video files in the format of MKV have become one of the most popular video formats on the internet. However it is a pity that almost all the commonly-used portable devices like iPhone, iPod, PSP, PS3, BlackBerry, etc. do not directly work with video files in this format. Thus, in order to achieve the goal of playing MKV files on the above mentioned mobile devices without troubles, we have to transcode them into these devices compatible formats in advance. In accordance with this goal, my post here will show you how to convert MKV for playback on portable devices like iPhone, iPod, PS3, etc. in detail.
Software you need:
Pavtube MKV Converter
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube MKV Converter
Once you run it, this wine red interface will appear, on which you can click "Add" button to load MKV files into this program.
[b]Step 2: Select output format and set save path
After MKV files are imported, what you should do next is hitting the drop-down button of "Format" to select a format for your portable devices.
For instance, convert MKV files for playback on iPhone, you should click on "iPhone" firstly, and then select a format according to the specific type of your own gadget, here I choose "iPhone 3G MOV 640x480(*.mov) as an example. Convert to other devices you can do in the same way.
At the same time, if you want to combine all the imported MKV files as one file, you are able to realize it through ticking the checkbox "Merge into one file". Moreover, suppose you would use your specified path to save the output files rather than the one set by default, you should click the folder icon at the opposite side of "Output" to indicate a destination folder.
Step 3: Set advanced settings
Click on "Settings" button, and the following window will pop up, which enables you to adjust video and audio parameters including codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. In that way, you can control the output file size as well as the output video quality on your hands totally.
Step 4: Convert
So long as the former three steps are finished, you can press "Convert" button to start conversion immediately. Once click this button, the following interface will show up, and all the info about conversion will be presented on it, such as conversion progress, conversion state, elapsed and estimated conversion time, as well as generated and estimated conversion file size. There is also another option that is "Shut down computer after conversion", through checking it, you can go out for a walk or do something else while conversion task is proceeding.
