MKV vs. MP4 First, let it be clear and both MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) and MKV (Matroska Video) are NOT video compression formats. They are containers that contain, among other things, video codec, audio codec, and subtitles.

A container makes things convenient. Having all three important components of video in the same file makes transfer and playback simpler. Instead of having to deal with three files at once, one only needs to deal with one.

With a container, users also have the freedom to choose and combine different codecs to suit their tastes. For instance, you can opt for a high-quality video codec but with medium-quality audio to save space.

“Which one has better quality, MP4 or MKV?”

Since both are containers, their quality is dictated on the quality of its components. If you use low-quality audio for your MP4 videos it will sound worse when compared to an MKV video with higher audio quality.

“Can I convert MKV to MP4?”

Sure you can. If you use the online video converter, not only you can convert MKV to MP4, you can also change the screen size, video bitrate, audio quality, audio codec, video frame rate, and more. You can also use

I've found I can rename VOB extensions to MPEG or MPG to be recognized by other programs.

DVD & Blu-ray both use MPEG2 with different extensions.
