What on earth is a *.mkv file?

Tech Talk

I downloaded this movie, and the file extension was .mkv. I have no fricken idea, nor does my dad, who’s like a computer wiz. Can anyone help me?

well most dual audio animes are mkv files. download the vlc media player and you should be good. you prob can change the audio of the file and add subtitles if you want.

3

Matroska video format. As long as you have the proper codecs installed, you should be able to play it with a player that supports it, like Media Player Classic.

OFT unless you use media player classic then just get the matroska codec

MKV files are good since they usually come with mutiple audio sources and or subtitles packed in.

whats the context? it can be several things
for example if you took it from a game its a playstation video file or it could be a screensaver for your computer, etc.

I generally prefer Zoomplayer for “.mkv” files. It’s partly personal preference though.
