How to Convert HEVC to MKV?

HEVC/H265 is an advanced video codec for encoding video data. It provides better data compression at the same level of video quality compared to other codecs. MKV, however, is a video format that contains video, audio data, subtitles, and codecs such as HEVC.

Since HEVC and MKV are different types, converting HEVC codec to MKV format is not possible. But you can use HEVC to encode MKV video, or convert HEVC to another encoder and encapsulate it into MKV format. If that’s what you think, then you’ve come to the right place. For this kind of conversion, all you need is a simple video converting tool like WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro.

In terms of ability to support HEVC codec, MP4 and MKV are the same.

It is meaningless to compare MKV with HEVC since these two are totally different things. MKV is a video container format that can contain video encoded through HEVC codec.

While HEVC is a high-efficiency compression method, it has a downside which is that it is not as widely supported as H264 and other codecs. You may fail to play HEVC files on some TVs, tablets, computers, smart phones, etc.
