# Why use this command?

MKV is a powerful container that supports almost any codec, multiple audio tracks, and subtitles. It's the ideal choice for high-quality video archiving.

# Parameter Explanation

FFmpeg reads the AVI input and wraps the streams into the Matroska (MKV) container. This process is usually fast as it preserves the original quality.

Common Errors & Solutions

"Codec not supported in MKV"

MKV is very flexible, but if you have a very obscure codec, use '-c:v libx264' to re-encode to a standard format.
