# Why use this command?

WebM and MKV are related (both use Matroska-based structures). This conversion is useful for adding more tracks or metadata to your WebM content.

The streams from the WebM input are placed into the MKV container. Since they share ancestry, this is a very 'clean' conversion for FFmpeg.

WebM often uses WebVTT subtitles. Use '-map 0' to ensure all streams, including subtitles, are carried over to the MKV.
