Drop one MP4 or two hundred. Batch conversion is not a paid feature here.
Multiple audio tracks, chapters or proper subtitle files need to live inside one file, and MP4 handles all three badly.
The video and audio streams are copied unchanged into a Matroska container. No re-encoding happens, so quality is identical and the operation is limited by disk speed rather than CPU.
MKV plays everywhere that runs VLC and almost nowhere else by default. Smart TVs, browsers, iOS and most consoles will not open it, so this is a conversion for a home media server, not for sharing.
No. Nothing is re-encoded. It is a container change.
