The MKV file extension stands for Matroska Video File. It is an open standard multimedia container which can store video, audio and other digital media data in one file. The MKV file format is used by the Matroska Media Format to offer a free and open standard for media files.
An MKV file is a video file saved in the Matroska multimedia container format that often stores short video clips, TV shows, and movies. The .mkv file extension is associated with video files. MKV files may contain any number of tracks: audio, video, subtitles, pictures.
MKV (Matroska Video) is a multimedia container similar to MOV and AVI format but it supports more than one audio and subtitle track in the same file. The MKV container itself also supports almost any audio and video format, making the format highly adaptive and easy to use.
Many video players can open MKV files, including Microsoft Windows Media Player 2022 and VideoLAN VLC media player. If you can’t play your MKV videos, just convert the files: 1. Download and install Movavi Video Converter. 2. Add your videos to the converter.
You have two main options for playing MKV files: using an MKV compatible media player or downloading the appropriate codecs for the media player you prefer. Best Option: Use VLC Media Player.
Since you might need different programs to open different MKV files, you can always change the default program for a specific file extension in Windows. This step becomes necessary if, for example, KMPlayer is trying to open an MKV file that you instead want or need to use with DivX Player.
Update software that support file extension MKV. You still cannot access MKV files although PowerDVD is installed on your system? Make sure that the software is up to date. Software developers may implement support for more modern file formats in updated versions of their products.
