# Why use this command?

Converting MP4 to MKV allows you to store multiple tracks and metadata in a robust container format. This is ideal for maintaining high-quality video while adding versatility to your media library.

# Parameter Explanation

The -y flag forces the output file to be overwritten if it exists. The command takes an input MP4 file and remuxes it into a Matroska (MKV) container without re-encoding unless specified.
