How to play Mkv files and convert it into DVD in Mac OS

[Patrickboy]

Just before a day my friend gave me his music collection CD. I tried to run the CD in Quicktime. But there's no result. Then in came to know that it is in Mkv format. Can you tell that how can i play a Mkv format file in Mac Os. I want to make a Dvd of my music & video which can be played easily. What are the tools available online. Is there any converter which i can use for this issue.

Mkv is a kind of container format. It is developed by Matroska. You get your update's about this format on http://www.matroska.org/.

The simplest way to run you files is to download vlc player. It is an portable application to play all your relevant format's. You will get two things when you download a VLC player. The first one is player with support for Matroska & support for the most video and audio streams. This will remove the frustration of installing extra codecs or filter on the basis of streaming online.

hi,

You need a iSquint. It is freely available online. Developed by Techspanion. Use to convert you Mkv to iPod, Mkv to iPhone, etc. Quite an easy tool. Rather it can also used to playback your other music files also.
Or either you can just download Perian to play your file in Quicktime Player also.
iSquint..
