Convert MKV to IPOD/IPhone format without using the command line in Mac OSX

2Aug/084

Quicktime natively doesn't support MKV, which is becoming an increasingly popular format to exchange videos in.

To achieve the seamless conversion of mkv to ipod format follow the following steps (you need Quicktime Pro for this).

1. Go to this site, and install Perian. Perian is a "swiss army" knife for Quicktime, it supports numerous file formats

2. After installing Perian, open the mkv file in Quicktime (you may need to restart quicktime).

3. Go to File->Export select Movie to Ipod, and your done!

I recommend you use VisualHub to convert MKV to MP4, AVI, etc. and convert MP4, MOV, AVI, etc to MKV on Mac. It can convert MKV to iPod Nano, convert MKV to iPod Classic, convert MKV to iPod touch, convert MKV to iPhone, convert MKV to Apple TV, convert MKV to Xbox 360, convert MKV to PSP, convert MKV to PS3, AVI, convert MKV to MP4, convert MKV to MPEG, convert MKV to Flash and convert MKV to WMV. It can also convert sorts of videos to MKV for free.
