Can converted video files contain malware?

hi! i’m not too knowledgeable about the happenings of malware. i saw on this subreddit that .mkv files can technically contain malware that exploits vulnerabilities within VLC. if i use VLC or another program to convert those video files to other video files, would that effectively scrub any malicious data within the file? apologies if this is the wrong place to ask
