Convert MKV to FLAC

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MKV to FLAC if your computer, phone or other device does not support MKV format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

MKV is a special AVI-like audio / video container that stores a huge amount of information. The MKV format is an open source project by Matroska designed to create a unified standard for multimedia containers on the PC. MKV is a multimedia container that combines in one file: video, sound, subtitles, pictures, various service information, and most importantly, the possibility of creating a media menu in the MKV container is declared. It supports such formats as: mkv - responsible for video files, mks - responsible for subtitles and mka - sound. The format is open source, which means anyone can use it and make changes. MKV has earned a good reputation due to its resistance to various bugs and errors and the possibility of emergency recovery of files, even if damaged. Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can contain an unlimited number of video, audio, images or subtitles in a single file. It is intended to be used as a universal storage format for common multimedia content such as movies or TV shows. It is popular for its high quality and relatively small size. The format is not as widespread as MP4 and AVI. Therefore, sometimes the question may arise which MKV player should be used to view these files.

FLAC or Free Lossless Audio Codec is a free codec designed for lossless compression of audio files. Usually it compresses the original WAV file - and, unlike lossy compression (which is provided by the MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Opus formats), FLAC does not remove anything from the audio data stream. Thus, you get (with a compatible decoder in the system) perfect quality - and noticeably fewer files. It provides complete safety of all data from the audio stream, is capable of compressing from 1.4 to 4 times with a bit rate of 350-1010 kbps, is used to create audio collections and are used for listening on premium equipment. FLAC is currently the most popular lossless audio compression format. If lossless support is declared for any software or hardware, it is almost certain that this software / hardware can play FLAC. The format is the de facto standard among lovers of high-quality sound. In fact, lossless compression can be compared to the WinRAR archiver, which can compress, for example, a text file absolutely without changing the content, but with a decent change in size downward, in comparison with the original original file. This format implies some compression of information, so the same song in FLAC format can take up to half less memory than in WAV format. However, this compression does not affect the quality of the music in any way. it is not music that is archived, as in MP3 format, but the data and processing takes place according to a different principle.
