Lately, a new format MKV emerged. More and more people start to use MKV. However, lots of people don’t know what the MKV is. As seldom players can read it, people may face the problem that they can’t use the MKV video. This thread here is to remedy that. I will show you what the MKV is on earth, and how to convert MKV to other popular video format so that your video can be widely used.
What is MKV?
MKV, also known as Matroska, is a multimedia container format. It is not a video or audio compression format. It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie or CD in a single file. Matrosla has incorporates features that you would expect from a modern container format like fast seeking in the file, high error recovery, chapter entries, selectable subtitle streams, selectable audio streams, modularly extendable, streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP audio & video streams), Menus (like DVD’s have). MKV is similar to AVI – it is another container format. But MKV is much newer, and can contain all kinds of stuff that doesn’t fit into AVI. It also has numerous features that AVI lacks. There’s also the difference that windows knows how to open the AVI “box” by itself, since the format was developed by Microsoft in the first place. MKV, however, was not developed by Microsoft and windows do not handle MKV by itself.

I used to buy a lot of DVDs, but since I split my time between the US and Europe, I found that half my discs wouldn't play on my Powerbook. Apple only lets you switch regions five times (though the studios actually say you're allowed to do this 25 times -- Apple actually imposes more restrictions than it has to), so I quickly ran out of region-switches and just gave up on DVDs for a while.
Thanks, DVD Converter Suite for Mac, for giving me back the access to my property that the MPAA and Apple took away.
