I was downloading a movie file yesterday. Normally the files would be an AVI file, but this time it was an MKV file. Not knowing what to do with this format, I tried to search in google and collected some information about this format.
MKV is Matroska video file. This official website of this project is http://www.matroska.org/. The wikipedia link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska.
Matroska aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly because it is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. EBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility, without breaking file support in old parsers.
VLC player is capable of playing this file format. There are also other players that are capable of playing this file format. They are available in the official website.
