1. What is an MKV File and
How Do You Play Them?
By Tynisa Van
2. Whether you are downloading videos from
the Internet or if you get video files from other
people, there is a high chance that you will
come across MKV files. Today, we will help
you to understand what they are and how you
can use them on your computer.
3. From Humble Beginnings
Before we talk about what the files are, let’s talk a
little history. MKV files, also known as Matroska
Video files originated in Russia in 2002. The lead
developer, Lasse Kärkkäinen, worked with the
founder of Matroska, Steve Lhomme, and a team
of programmers to create this comprehensive
multimedia container file format. It got its name
from the Russian word for Nesting Dolls,
matryoshka.
The Matroska project was developed as an open
standards project which means that it is open
source and is completely free for anyone who
wants it for personal use. The company also has a
lot of resources on their website, including a list
of playback options. As time went on, the format
was improved and in 2010, it became the basis for
the WebM multimedia format.
4. What Are MKV Files?
MKV 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meaning that the files would not become outdated.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.
Because 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.
5. Once you have downloaded the appropriate file
simply run it to install VLC. The entire installation
process should take no more than two to three
minutes. The best part is that you don’t need to
worry about bloatware coming with the program
because it is a clean install, as long as you get it
from the right place.
To associate MKV files with VLC, you can right-
click on one of them, click Properties, and then the
Change button on the General page to switch out
the default application. Find VLC media player in
the list, and select it.
Best Option: Use VLC Media Player
6. Once you have set the file association, simply double-
click on the file, and watch the video play with VLC
media player. Note that this video in in the screenshot
is blurry because it is a low resolution video only meant
to display the function of VLC.
7. In addition to VLC player, the Matroska website also offers
a few suggestions for media players for Windows that
support them
