MKV is just a container. You can have an mpeg-4 video inside of a .mkv container.

My suggestion is this:

push the file to a .mkv container:

mkvmerge -o newfile.mkv inputfile.m4v

Get the script available here: https://github.com/JakeWharton/mkvdts2ac3

Run this:

mkvdts2ac3.sh newfile.mkv

Done! My TV supports AC3, but not DTS so this setup does wonders for me.

Please note that mkvdts2ac3.sh has some dependency requirements that are very basic. You'll see them when you run the script.
