Good mkv to mp4 converter?

I'm looking for a good, and possibly free, mkv to mp4 converter. I know many people have asked this already, but all the results I keep finding either seriously degrade video or audio quality. I want one that will make an mp4 the exact quality of the mkv. Any suggestions?

    first thing to understand is that neither mkv nor mp4 are encoding formats, but media containers. some players/platforms will not play certain formats. others will do so with codecs. if you had provided a little more info then i could have maybe answered more fully but i suggest you try YAMB or another multiplexer (MeGUI also has a multiplexer) that accepts mkv and outputs mp4. the good thing about just changing the container is it only requires the time it takes to write a new copy of the file to disk...about 20 seconds for 1GB.

    you need to be a skilled encoder to make even close to a 1:1 quality version of an already encoded file.

    mkv is NOT lossless, because it is not an encoding protocol.

    I just used this myself. Go to www.freemake.com - it's free. When installing, make sure you say no to the bloat-ware items unless, of course, you want it/them! If I can do it, anybody can!
