Why teams trust this converter
Zero-Trust Ready
Files never leave the tab. MKV binaries live inside WebAssembly memory and are disposed of immediately after producing a M4V output.
Format-Aware Presets
We tune FFmpeg flags so MKV characteristics (color depth, metadata) persist when writing M4V deliverables.
Ops-Level Observability
Each run exposes duration, file size deltas, and CPU hints so production teams can benchmark MKV → M4V workflows.
