What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application.

To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting VP6 files to MKV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it.
