When choosing to save video in MKV format, it means you are saving a file with a large file size. MKV videos, especially HD MKV files, usually occupy a lot of your storage space.

To reduce the file size, you can choose an output format which saves videos with smaller size. If you agree to save your files in a highly-compressed format like FLV, you can choose FLV as the output format. To open the output format list, please click the "Profile" menu.

If you insist output MKV format and please choose MKV as output format, and then you can lower its video resolution to reduce file size, so, you are suggest to click the button "Settings" to adjust the video resolution, frame rate, bit rate, audio sample rate, bit rate and channel.

So, if you just want to keep some segments of the file and leave the others, you can just extract the wanted segments from the file by trimming video. Click the button "Trim" and then you can shorten your video by keeping only the favorite parts.

On the left one there is a dashed rectangle. You can drag any corner of the dashed rectangle to determine which video area you want. And then you can also get rid of the black bars with the cropping function. To be get the cropping more precise, you can first use the rectangle to get the approximate area, and then adjust the exact value from the "Left", "Top", "Right", and "Bottom" area. Besides, you can choose the aspect ratio (original, 4:3, and 16:9).

Step 4Export the New MKV Video or New Output Format

Click the round and orange button to start converting MP4 to Apple TV. It won't take you long to get the converted files. But it would take a longer while to finish if your files are very large. When done, you are informed to open the folder to play the converted file.
