Player for MKV

“Matryoshka” (or “Matroshka”) is popularly called the .mkv video format. For example, BluRay discs are distilled into such formats. However, due to its increased resource requirement, this format is not fully supported on every player. Although recently most media players have been striving to “digest” each format, it is .mkv that often becomes a stumbling block.

It's no secret: the higher quality the video, the more demanding it is. Therefore, before choosing a player, make sure whether your processor, RAM and video card can “pull” the burden of a 25-gigabyte movie in BluRay resolution.

If you have no doubts about your hardware, then you need to turn to players.

We recommend two distributions for you to download.

First - K-Lite Codec Pack. It is advisable to download the Mega version. This codec package also has a player - a well-known Media Player Classic - which can play .mkv videos thanks to its codecs and engine without loss of quality and without stuttering.

Another popular player for watching .mkv video is VLC Media Player. All the necessary codecs are built into the player, all that remains is to launch the movie and enjoy the highest resolution: VLC will take care of the rest. The list of players that support .mkv is very large, although we focused on only two of them. These two media players are the best in their class. Choose, watch, enjoy!
