Converting .mkv to .mp4 with #Handbrake successful, plays locally. But when uploading to #InternetArchive , error:

There is a network problem
400 Bad Data
BadContent
Uploaded content is unacceptable.
Resource>video file has improper extension, try one of these: .mpv .mkv

But the whole reason for converting is that Archive won't stream mkv, only its own mp4 conversion of far lower quality :(
