Part 2: About MKV Video Format<\/strong> <\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\n\nWhat is MKV?<\/strong><\/a> Contrary to popular belief, MKV<\/strong><\/a> files are not an audio or video compression format. In reality, MKV<\/strong> files are actually multimedia container formats. This essentially means that it is a container that can incorporate audio, video, and subtitles into a single file even if they use a different type of encoding. For instance, you could have a MKV<\/strong> file using VP8 video with Vorbis audio, or more commonly, using H.264 for video and something like MP3 or AAC for audio.<\/p>\n
MKV<\/strong><\/a> container files were designed to be future proof, meaning that the files would not become outdated. For this reason, Matroska developers included several key features. These include fast seeking, chapter, menu, and metadata support, different selectable audio and video streams, online streaming compatibility, subtitle (hard-coded and soft-coded) support, and error recovery (allows for playback of corrupted files). The container itself also supports almost any audio and video format, which makes it highly adaptive and easy to use.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBecause it isn't an industry standard, not all media players support it yet, even though support is rapidly growing. There are two main options for playing MKV files. These include, using an MKV compatible media player or downloading the appropriate codecs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
