need help converting video files mkv to mp4

I'm a bit of a numpty with video files. I have some mkv video files that play fine on my computer, but they won't play on my "smart" TV on a USB stick. mp4 files seem to play fine on the TV. Been trying to find a way to convert the mkv files to mp4.

I've been using VLC for some time, but only tonight discovered that it can do the conversion using the first method here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computi...to-mp4-format/.

I "successfully" converted a mkv file to mp4, and it did play on the TV. However the video and sound are out of sync (hence the "" around successfully). I read that you can use J and K in VLC to push the audio fwd and back in increments of 50ms, or alternatively using the "all" tools/preferences method, however the out-of-sync isn't constant. It appears to be nominal at beginning of video, and gets worse by the end.

Anyone here able to help, please?
