![]() You know the drill, you double-click and after a minute or so, the video player program complains “can’t open file” or “unknown format”. Which is all well and good unless your computer can’t open up the MKV file and read the video or audio contents therein. It’s also not a compression format or codec, per se, but rather a container protocol that allows you to put other file formats “inside” the MKV file. The format was created by a team of Russian programmers all the way back in 2002. ![]() MKV is known as “Matroska Video” (named after Russian nesting dolls, known in Russian as matryoshka). The three most common video formats are probably MP4, WAV and MOV but it’s not uncommon for me to end up wanting to watch a video that’s in MKV format.
