I tried it and immediately fell in love! It was so easy to use! After a couple conversions I bought the guys a cup of coffee. A couple more and decided this was too good to abuse! I joined! My life is so much easier!
TillieI had a huge, problematic file to convert that couldn't go through the usual automated conversion process. The Zamzar team responded quickly to my request for help, and they took the extra steps needed to do it manually.

David SheltonIt’s my first time using it. I had some complications doing it. I’m not very good at this. But I wrote to the company and I had a lot of help. I’m satisfied with customer service and with the app.

MKV Video Format MKV Converter
MKV files go by the full name of a Matroska Video File. MKV files were developed in Russia by Matroska in 2002 and are a popular video format, specifically with users who download video content the Internet. The name stems from the Russian word for Nesting Dolls, matryoshka because, like the Nesting Doll, an MKV file has many layers to it. First, the file itself is a multimedia container format which is made up of three parts, namely audio, video and text in the form of subtitles. These all form a single file but each element has its own type of encoding around it. MKV files are popular for a number of reasons, one being that they are open source and another being that they support multiple tracks within the same file and support almost any type of format meaning they’re very adaptable. Whilst popular, they are not universally supported. Indeed, only a handful of applications support the files including the VLC player and the MPlayer

MP4 Video Format MP4 Converter
An MP4, sometimes known as an MPEG4, is a multimedia file that is used to store video or audio data. MP4 files are typically smaller in size than other audio or video file types because MP4 files use a mix of compression technologies. Video and audio compression are usually handled by different codecs (audiovisual encoders). The video part is compressed with MPEG-4, a standard that was developed by Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG), while the audio is typically compressed using AAC compression.
The explosion in popularity of the MP4 format is largely down to Apple and the iTunes Store, as it is the standard format for almost all of the media downloaded from the store. MP4 files are also typically seen when a video is downloaded from the internet.
MP4 files can normally be opened on your computer using Windows Media Player or QuickTime, and can be opened on mobile devices without the need to download any applications.
