How to convert MKV to MP4, MOV, and FLV on Mac?

People nowadays can easily download various sorts of MKV files online free of charge. These MKV files can be in forms of videos, movies, or MV, nevertheless, all of them can not be directly played in many system built-in players, and need to be converted to other formats. This article here aims to introduce you what is MKV, and how to facilitate the MKV to play on Mac or mobile devices.

Part 1: What is MKV?

Briefly speaking, MKV is one of the file types of a container format called Matroska, which is similar to other containers like ASF, AVI, MP4, and 3GP in conception. Matroska is an open standard free container format, which can hold an unlimited number of subtitle tracks, pictures, audios, or videos within a single file. It contains three file types: MKV for video files (including audios and subtitles); MKS for subtitles (only subtitles); MKA for audio files only. To store HD video files is the most common use of MKV files.

Honestly... you suck at viral marketing. No offence but your method is rather ineffective as it is way too obvious especially since this is gamer board and we usually don’t give a fuck about converting audio or video files most of the time.
I hope no one is paying you for this crap… I would lay you off for such a cheap attempt.

Now if you want to learn something let me tell you how to do this right:

First of all choose the community you want to infiltrate wisely. It was not very clever to choose 4P for your campaign since, like I already pointed out, gamers usually don’t give a fuck about converting audio and video files. Usually you want to choose a community that is large enough, respected in a certain field and frequently visited by guest to find answers especially via search engines like Google.
The next step is to infiltrate the network. Be stealthy and sleek here. To start with pure advertisement, like you just did, will probably get you banned (this may be proven later). If I have to break it down to simple numbers than this would be my explanation: The time being signed up to an online community and the amount of posts written there are good indications of how believable the played character is.
Once you think that most of the users may think of you as an actual person you may start your actual campaign.
In your case I recommend to start off with a problem choosing a field in which the software you are about to present is especially good at of course. Otherwise it would not work out well.
The aim in this case is to provide a recommendable solution with a made up problem on purpose hopping that it will catch on and actually be recommended further on without or little aid.
Choosing a subforum that is populated, in case of 4P “off topic” or “let’s talk about”, was a good choice but remember reposting the same several times is pretty obvious. In any case if you are lucky moderators will overlook that there are special forums for these problems and leave your topic be. That would be preferable but in case they relocate your topic you have to live with it.
Over the course of the resulting discussion either another user will come up with your software as a solution or you will randomly post that you solved your problem demonstrating it with your software.
If someone else is pointing you to your own software then you probably post some gratitude and how easy it is to use and that you can really recommend it.
If only competitor software comes up you will reject these suggestions by making up problems, you may find some real problems via an internet search or know already about them since you investigated your client. Damaging the reputation of the clients’ competitors is still within your scope of work and is effective to some extend as well.
Finally you will come up with the ultimate solution: Your software.
In this case explaining in detail while it worked so well may be appropriated and helpful to convince the crowd.

Regardless of being a freelancer or working for an agency you don’t have to abandon accounts but store it to use it later on for other products. That way you may spare the time to infiltrate the network and if you go thru the trouble to keep the account alive even without a proper client request you may never ever be suspected to be an agent regardless of what you write however you can still steer up hype.
Look I already told several people here that I’m paid by several publishers and no one ever believes me. That how it should be!

P.S.: Ah well and stick to the mother tongue of the board. Posting in English on a German board is rather strange and not very convincing.

@arkune: sehr schön geschrieben. Mal ein Auslandssemester oder Jahr getätigt?

Trotzdem wird es vergebene Liebesmühe gewesen sein.
