Convert VGZ to MKV

Understanding VGZ and MKV file formats

VGZ is a compressed audio file format primarily used for storing video game music. It is a variant of the VGM (Video Game Music) format, which is used to capture the soundtracks of video games from various consoles. VGZ files are essentially VGM files compressed using Gzip to reduce file size.

MKV, or Matroska Video, is a multimedia container format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. It is widely used for storing high-quality video content and is known for its flexibility and support for various codecs.

Converting VGZ to MKV

Converting a VGZ file to an MKV file involves extracting the audio content from the VGZ file and then embedding it into an MKV container. This process may require additional steps, such as converting the audio to a compatible format for MKV.
