| Technical Details | Any video player that supports DirectShow parser filters can play .mkv files once the correct decoder filers for the video file are installed. Players such as VLC or Xine have native support for .mkv files which eliminates the need to install the DirectShow decoder filter onto the operating system. The .mkv file format is capable of supporting chapter points, subtitles, different audio streams, video, and well as metadata such as file descriptions, synopsis, cover art and more. |
