Mkv is one of the video file formats, which is widely used nowadays. It is nothing but a matroska file. It is similar to most of the file format containers like avi, mpeg etc., except the fact that it is a fully open standard container. There are different types of the matroska files like mka, mks, mkv. ‘mka’ is the type of container which consists of audio only. ‘mks’ is another container which consists ofm the subtitles only. ‘mkv’ container has both the video and the subtitles in it. These mkv files can be played in any video player if you have the cccp pack installed in your computer.
Avi is the most popular video/audio format in the windows. The mkv format is on the rise as it is very popular and widely used by the people in the cartoon and animation, where the users create the subtitles. The main reason is that it is compatible with audio and subtitle in the single container. Most digital portable players and music players are compatible with avi formats rather than the mkv files.
