MKV, or Matroska Multimedia Container, is an open source, file container format. MKV files are able to store an unlimited number of video, audio, and subtitle files within one file. Matroska files use the .MKV file extension for video files that contain audio and video, the .MKA file extension for audio files, and the .MKS file extension for subtitle files. MKV files are often used to store small collections of videos or multiple parts of the same video. Because of their ability to store an unlimited number of subtitle files, MKV files are also often used to store subtitles in multiple languages for the same video. In order to burn an MKV file to a disk, proper software must be used. Several examples of this type of software are listed below.
