Remove the subtitle track when you use mkvtomp4.

You could also try remux the mkv to mp4 with other tools like avidemux, open video and under audio choose copy, save a mkv. Or with ffmpeg, ffmpeg -i video.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy new.mp4.

[loosecontroi]

i didn't convert with the subtitles? mkv has subs while m4v doesnt..
i didnt understand how to fix my problem, could you be more..simple ?

[Baldrick]

But it says that is has subs from MEDIAINFO??? Can't you adjust any setting in mkvtomp4 to disable subtitles? I have never used it.

Or try other mkv to mp4 tools like avidemux(as I already mentioned and how to....) or https://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/all-in-one-mkv-to-mp4-avchd-ts

[loosecontroi]

no it hasnt got any subs, i played around with the sub settings on vlc and there arent any
is that the problem? i have gotsent too that can work, should i use it instead? i dont want to convert to avi coz i will lose much quality

[loosecontroi]

gotsent didnt work any suggestions?

[loosecontroi]

i tried multiple different converters and none worked so i guess ill go with my good old handbrake

[loosecontroi]

ok so i converted some of them with handbrake but it still didnt work!
so i guess i need to download some codecs or something? anyone knows which?

[loosecontroi]

i installed quick time too but stil didnt work .. help me please :'(

[Baldrick]

What is the error in vegas when you try import it?

You could also try remux/convert the mp4s to a new mp4 with mp4muxer (quicktime), open mp4 and make a new one. Or use quicktime pro or mpeg streamclip and do the same.

[loosecontroi]

the error message vegas pops up is : ''None of the files dropped On Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum could be opened.''
Okay thanks ill try what you said and tell you if it worked

[loosecontroi]

ok i did what you said to me. created new mp4, converted to avi, wmv.. but STILL didnt work . so the problem isnt the format because as i already said ive been working with m4v for a long time. im editing for my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/loosecontroiPL)
anyway i found an answer into a thread of someone who had the same problem but i didnt understand what he meant.
http://www.videoforums.co.uk/sony-vegas-media-studio/37691-cant-get-m4v-into-vegas-eve...i-wmv-mp4.html
he said : ''I got it to work with the MP4 (AVC) setting. Should I delete this thread? if thats possible? Or could this be helpful to someone'' what did he mean?

[loosecontroi]

anyone knows what the guy meant by ''I got it to work with the MP4 (AVC) setting.'' ?

[loosecontroi]
