Thanks to Anthony and others who recommended Subler in the comments. This all works well except it leaves behind in that downloads folder, the original MKV and an extra MP4. Subler’s queue is set to send the file to TV too, which it does. If you need to convert other video types to iOS compatible format, Handbrake works great for that. What I’ve got is a ‘downloads’ folder with an AppleScript folder action on it that tells sublet to open, add the added file to the queue and start the queue. On a side note, converting MKV to M4V isn’t necessary if you want to watch the movie directly on your computer, in that case, check out a handful of free MKV video players for Mac. ![]() The resulting M4V video can now be synced through iTunes to an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, played directly on an Apple TV, or watched on any other device or app that supports M4V. AppleTV has the capability to display TX3G subtitle embedded in the MP4 container (I use handbrake or subler for this). You’ll see a “Saving” progress but Subler works very quickly, you shouldn’t have to wait long for the repackage regardless of the origin MKV video size. Hit Command+S to save the M4V file and select a destination What I’ve got is a ‘downloads’ folder with an AppleScript folder action on it that tells sublet to open, add the added file to the queue and start the queue. ![]() Optionally, add metadata as appropriate.Drag the MKV into Subler that you wish to turn into an M4V. ![]() Ive only tried this a couple of timesit worked once and failed once.
