How Can I Convert MOV to MKV in Windows 11 PC
Are you want to convert MOV to MKV on Windows 11 PC using HandBrake? HandBrake has a ton of presets, but you want to make sure you’re picking one that works for your needs. If you're just going for quality, the "Fast 1080p30" preset is a solid choice. If you choose something too low, like a "Very Fast" preset, you might lose quality.
When you're setting up your output, make sure you're actually set to MKV. It sounds simple, but sometimes people forget and end up trying to save as MP4 or another format. Just double-check that drop-down menu! If you skip checking the audio settings, you might end up missing out on the audio tracks or having the wrong one selected. If your MOV has multiple audio tracks (like different languages), be sure to select the one you want. You can also adjust the bit rate for better sound quality.
Just because you can crank up the quality doesn’t mean you should! Keep an eye on the projected file size, especially if you're limited on storage or plan to share the file online. Sometimes it’s better to find a balance between quality and size.
