Question about changing MP4 Profile/Level

[lixe]

Hello,
I just found out, that iFlicks changes the Profile to 3.1, also if I select "iTunes compatible" in iFlicks, so that iFlicks should just change the container from for example mkv to mp4 without changing the video stream itself. So my question is, does anyone know whether it affects the quality if iFlicks lowers the Profile? Because most of my MKV Videos have 4.1...

Thanks!
Felix

While havent tried this myself, it's unlikely to reencode.

However, if it does, change the level / profile via Subler. I may even posted my dedicated article here in the ATV forum; if you can't find it, I re-post.
