The only other program that I've found that can convert .mkv video files is Total Media Converter but this is not free. I'd rather use this, not only is it free, but it incorporates right into quicktime which is great.

I was searching all over the net for a MKV converter that supported subtitles and this does it! Just do it straight from Quicktime. One downside though is that the converting process is extremely slow. But that is Quicktime's fault not Perian.

But it's great if you just want to view it on the computer. I just convert them so I can watch my anime on the go :)
