Add / Convert MKV and AVI to iTunes and iPhone/iPod/iPad for Free

iPod/iPad Add comments

“MKV AVI to MP4” is a free and open-sourced way to convert your movies to MP4 so you can add them to iTunes and sync with your mobile device.   It works very quickly as it seems to change the container without re-encoding the video.

From their website:  “Convert mkv/avi files in h264 to mp4 files without re-encode video stream. Subtitle will be embed as soft subtitle.Convert speed is fast as video is not re-encoded.Works on iPad, mp4box,  mkvextract,  beSweet, eac3to, mediainfo are used.”

Here is the website to download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkvavi2mp4/

You will also need to download the Nero ACC Codec and extract it in the same directory that houses mkvavi2mp4.



Now you will be able to add the resulting mp4 to iTunes and sync.
