mkv to mp4

Hi Guys

Can anyone point me in the right direction for converting mkv to mp4. I don't want to alter the picture or audio just simply change the container so it will play on my Tv.

Regards Danny

Thanks guys, the problem I was having is I'm new to this and using Handbrake or XMedia insisted on re encoding everything when all I wanted was to change the container. (Probably more my fault no setting them up right, couldn't seem to find the pass through options)
Anyway I found this - MkvToMp4 0.222 - VideoHelp.com Downloads and bingo, 9gig 1080p 5.1CH x264 mkv to mp4 in 9 minutes, and no loss to sound or picture qualitly that I can See.

Thanks Guys

Here is a list to muse over. The user ratings may mean something.
Video Converters Downloads for Windows - CNET Download.com
One I've used is Any Video Converter.

Saw your comment: I don't think Handbrake will do a transcode just encode.

So many choices, here's one more I use and like. Free cocktail and pineapple included.
HandBrake

To be totally honest I don't know the difference I presume transcode just alters the container without changing the picture or audio and encode literally changes the whole file, correct me if I'm wrong.
I didn't know that about handbrake so that's why that was saying 1 hour to convert and I would guess I didn't have the settings right in the others I tried.
All this because the damned Tv won't recognise .mkv files.

I probably used the wrong terminology since you aren't changing the codecs, just the container. Still I don't think Handbrake allows you to do this. Others please correct me if I'm wrong.

Glad you found the solution, Danny. At least I was on the right track (same company, wrong product. :))

It would probably do the job if I knew how to set it up lol The one I found was just idiot proof so right up my street.
