Why convert MKV to MP4?

Matroska (MKV) is a name coming from Russian- representing the Matryoshka nesting dolls. As a video format, MKV aims to provide an open standard for multimedia container formats, actually it did achieve this goal. One compelling feature of MKV is holding a large variety of data including video, audio, subtitle, chapter, menu, stereoscopic (3D) as well as many other metadata. However, this feature also brings much inconvenience. Due to its large size, many portable devices like ipad, ipod, iphone, etc cannot import MKV files. In addition, MKV is incompatible with some media player like RealPlayer, iTunes, etc.
