Smart Converter is quite simply the smartest, simplest, and most efficient converter out there. Smart Converter will provide a faster, higher-quality conversion than most existing converters.
Drag your video or audio file to Smart Converter, select an output format, and convert. It's as simple as that. Smart Converter will analyse your file and preserve as much of the original as possible, optimising conversion speed and quality.

Need more convincing? Get Smart Converter and try it for yourself: it's free.
Why So Smart? When you drop a media file into Smart Converter and choose a conversion type, it immediately analyses your file and works out exactly what part of it needs to be converted to achieve the desired output. In many cases neither the video nor the audio need converting. In some cases just one or the other need converting, and in a few cases both will need converting. Doing this analysis ensures Smart Converter only converts stuff that needs converting, and leaves the rest alone. This has a two-fold advantage over many other converters; it's usually very fast and maintains the highest possible quality of video and audio.

It also took an incredible long time to convert the file. For a 15 minute video it needed +1 hour!
Handbrake did the same job with playable results in less then 5 minutes.

I found it to be more than adequate in doing this. It was fairly quick. There are no preferences to fiddle with - so no need to choose codecs, bit rates, FPS, etc. - just drag and drop, hit the button, and off it goes.
Playing the converted mov file in QT alongside the original wmv file in VLC, I detected very little loss of quality. The FPS, bit rates, etc. were identical to the original wmv file.
The one thing I didn't like was how the application automatically added converted files to iTunes as well as a folder in the Movies folder.

I just did two successful conversions from .mkv format to .mp4 format (for use on my PS3). Both files had DTS audio and caused Handbrake and Subler both to choke (at least using the PassThru setting for audio, which may have been my problem), but the both files successfully for use on PS3 (the video was just copied over while the audio was transcoded from DTS to AAC 5.1 Ch.)
NOT having to downgrade DTS or Doby 5.1 audio to 2.0 channel stereo was a BIG concern for me in a mkv to MP4 converter for me as well. This one DOES do the job, and does it really well.
The most likely issue that I can think of that you might have been running into is limitations of your selected playback device. SOME devices do not support multi-channel audio (I think I remember reading that XBox 360 is one of them, but could be mistaken), perhaps your selected device is such a device...in which case, Smart Converter would appropriately convert to the best quality compatible audio format.
Hope that helps, and good luck sorting things out! ;)

Handbrake usually isn't the preferred choice for converting MKV format with H.264 video to MP4 because it lacks video passthru, causing slow and unnecessary H.264 to H.264 encoding.
"but the both files successfully for use on PS3 (the video was just copied over while the audio was transcoded from DTS to AAC 5.1 Ch.)"
Interesting. I've used iFFmpeg for that purpose. Likely Smart Converter also uses ffmeg, but automates and simplifies more with less flexibility.

Didnt produce one converter file.
Free but worthless.
Handbrake is the way to go if you need a free converter.

Additionally, Smart Converter doesn’t make DVDs, MPEG2 or Matroska (.mkv) files, and there is no ability to select, change or adjust anything at all, so it’s ridiculously barebones and utterly useless, like most of Shedworks software.
To be fair, I gave it a 5-star Ease of Use rating simply because it’s never used by anyone I know, therefore extremely easy. Nice that it’s free, though.
