# Why use this command?

MKV is the Swiss Army knife of containers. Convert FLV to MKV to modernise your file while keeping the flexibility to add more tracks later.

The command takes the video/audio streams from the FLV file and wraps them in a Matroska (.mkv) container. This is usually very fast.

FLVs often have variable or incorrect frame rates. Use '-fflags +genpts' before the input to fix the timing in the output MKV.
