Yaaas! Another one is Xmedia which has a prettier interface but remuxing is the key, no quality loss!

Or I think just a video converter can handle the problem easily. Handbrake, FFmpeg are all nice choices there. I personally like to use a handy tool named Free Online Video Converter. It is provided by its official webpage and I can utilize it directly online and free. Just install a launcher and activate the tool.

Since all the formats that mp4 can handle are also handled by matroska you only have to remux into the mkv container without actually converting/transcoding the video/audio itself. mmg (MkvMergeGui) in the mkvtoolnix[1] package should be able to do this simply by adding the mp4 file as a source file.

TheELF and The Ryuu are the correct ones here.

Do Not Convert, just remux. Remuxing will take about 500% less time and you will maintain 100% of the quality vs. any conversion.

You can have a go with AVC, it supports a lot of video formats, it's free and user-friendly.
