Convert YTS to MKV

Understanding YTS and MKV file formats

YTS is not a file format but a popular torrent site known for distributing high-quality movie torrents. The files downloaded from YTS are typically in the MP4 or MKV format. On the other hand, MKV (Matroska Video) is a flexible, open standard video file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. It is widely used for high-definition video content.

Why convert YTS to MKV?

Since YTS files are often already in MKV format, conversion might not be necessary. However, if you have a YTS file in a different format, converting it to MKV can be beneficial for compatibility with various media players and devices that support MKV.
